A 49-year-old white woman was referred by an outside eye provider to the glaucoma service at Tufts Medical Center for evaluation of elevated IOP in the left eye and episodes of transient vision “darkening” upon awakening for the past year. The patient had similar episodes of darkening vision a decade ago that resolved after Ahmed tube placement in 2015. She described these episodes as a darkening of her central vision of the left eye only, lasting from seconds to all day long.
