Slit lamp photographs of superotemporal bulbar conjunctiva of the left eye. (A) Before the intravitreal tPA injection, conjunctiva was flat over the Ahmed plate. Note the pericardium (Tutoplast, Costa Mesa, CA) and plate markings. (B) Two months following intravitreal tPA injection, there is a pseudocapsule over the functioning drainage device. Intraocular pressure is controlled with topical medications.
