Bilateral acute severe intraocular pressure elevation requiring filtration surgery after implantation of toric Artisan phakic intraocular lenses

Retractable dog leashes: are they as safe as they seem?

“…[1][2][3] Although retractable dog leashes are widely used because of their convenience, awareness about their ocular hazards remains low. Recently a US manufacturer had to withdraw its retractable dog leashes after a recoil injury caused partial blindness in a 13-yearold girl.…”

“…2,3 We performed non-penetrating glaucoma surgery for a similar case of bilateral severe IOP elevation post p-IOL implantation in a patient with high myopia. 3 The authors report pigment dispersion occurring in 28.6% (Artisan) and 15.38% (Visian) in their series. They did not document whether all patients underwent pre-and post-operative gonioscopy to examine the anterior chamber angle.…”

“…There are case reports of intractable IOP elevation presumed secondary to pigment dispersion requiring surgery. 2,3 We performed non-penetrating glaucoma surgery for a similar case of bilateral severe IOP elevation post p-IOL implantation in a patient with high myopia. 3 The authors report pigment dispersion occurring in 28.6% (Artisan) and 15.38% (Visian) in their series.…”
