| Popis: | Two patients presented with angle closure many years after cataract extraction. The first patient presented with acute intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and closed iridocorneal angle that resolved with a laser iridotomy. The second patient presented with an insidious course of high IOP and progressive narrowing of the iridocorneal angle, ultimately requiring a pars plana vitrectomy and glaucoma valve implant, with subsequent normalization of pressure and angle anatomy. Although rare, angle closure in eyes with posterior chamber intraocular lenses is a dangerous complication that can occur many years after cataract extraction. Retained lens fragments, and perhaps repeated intravitreal injections, might place susceptible patients at risk. |
