We present a case of post-trabeculectomy encapsulated dysesthetic bleb with scleral fistula, managed successfully with autograft. The child was operated on twice before for trabeculectomy, and intraocular pressure (IOP) recorded was in the normal range for the initial few years. This time child presented with a large encapsulated dysesthetic bleb with borderline IOP. As the IOP was on the lower side, an underlyings cleral fistula was suspected and planned for bleb revision with a donor patch graft. We describe the novel technique of bleb revision along with the repair of the scleral fistula with an autologous free fibrotic Tenon's tissue graft instead of a donor patch graft with a successful outcome.
