Algorithm showing management of a shallow anterior chamber following glaucoma drainage surgery. Note that in the early stages of malignant glaucoma the intraocular pressure may be normal.

Algorithm summarising the management of malignant glaucoma (assuming diagnosis has already been made). Some eyes will need indefinite cycloplegic therapy. Surgery for phakic eyes is controversial. Lens extraction may be a difficult decision if there is no cataract and pars plana vitrectomy may be preferred as the first line treatment in this instance.
