Appearance of the filtering bleb of the left eye at presentation, revealing intense bulbar and ciliary conjunctival hyperemia with an associated grayish-white infiltrate of approximately 3 x 2 mm (a). Slit-lamp photography at 3 weeks after onset revealing a very thin-walled filtering bleb with leakage (b). Image 1 week after crosslinking treatment, showing a better-looking filtering bleb with more consistent walls and no leakage (c). Fluorescein staining photography 1 week after crosslinking treatment demonstrating no bleb leakage (d)

Ophthalmological examination of the left eye revealed severe conjunctival hyperemia, as well as a filtering bleb located in the upper nasal quadrant with a whitish cystic appearance and an avascular area with an associated grayish-white infiltrate of approximately 3 x 2 mm [Fig. 1a]. After 3 weeks, the infection was resolved, but a very thin-walled, leaking filtering bleb persisted [Fig. 1b]. One week after the crosslinking treatment, a better-looking filtering bleb with more consistent walls was observed with a negative Seidel test and no leakage [Fig. 1c and d].

The patient was periodically reviewed and remained stable with no recurrence of bleb leakage or blebitis after 4 years of follow-up and documented with slit-lamp photography [Fig. 2], anterior segment optical coherence tomography [Fig. 3a], and ultrasound biomicroscopy [Fig. 3b].
