At presentation he had high intraocular pressures although he was taking multiple medications. Depending on clinical findings of advanced glaucomatous optic nevre damage and visual field defects trabeculectomies with mitomycin C were performed for both eyes. There was no early complication postoperatively. During follow up, hypotony developed in both eyes and cryotherapy was performed to the filtering blebs. 6 months after crytotherapy hypotony on left eye was detected. Argon laser therapy was performed to bleb. For the last 18 months of follow-up period intraocular pressures have been within normal range. Keywords : Mitomycin, ocular hypotony, trabeculectomy
