Pupillary block after phakic anterior chamber intraocular lens implantation

Abstract: A 49-year-old patient developed pupillary block glaucoma with an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 29 mm hg after implantation of a phakic intraocular lens (IOL) (NuVita, Bausch & Lomb) in the left eye. the anterior chamber deepened again, and the iop decreased to 16 mm hg after a neodymium: YAG iridotomy. Pupillary block glaucoma may occur after phakic IOL implantation without iridotomy, and we advocate that routine iridotomy be performed during phakic IOL surgeries.

“…Angle-supported phakic IOLs are implanted by the simplest surgical technique and have good refractive results; however, few large series have been published 1-3 and severe complications (vascular, inflammatory, and vitreoretinal) have been reported. [4][5][6][7][8][9] We report a series of 190 myopic eyes of 115 patients who had angle-supported phakic IOL implantation, focusing on the intraoperative and postoperative complications to provide clinicians and patients with a basis for informed consent.…”

“…Serious events such as endophthalmitis following angle-supported AC IOL implantation 5 and pupillary block following angle-supported AC IOL implantation 6 and PC IOL implantation 7 have been reported. RuizMoreno and coauthors 8 report a 4.8% incidence of retinal detachment following angle-supported AC IOL implantation.…”

“…Although the fi rst results were encouraging, many pIOLs had to be explanted owing to complications such as chronic loss of corneal endothelial cells, iris retraction and atrophy, peripheral anterior synechiae, subsequent pupil ovalization, and uveitis-glaucomahyphema syndrome. 5,6 ISSN 0972-0200 Tinwala, Titiyal.…”
