Pupillary Block Due to Reverse Implantation of Angulated Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens
1Fatih Üniversitesi Hastanesi Göz Hastalıkları A.D:, Ankara, Uzm. Dr.2Fatih Üniversitesi Hastanesi Göz Hastalıkları A.D., Ankara, Prof. Dr. A sixy nine year old noncompliant female patient who underwent phacoemulsification had a inadvertly reverse implantation of angulated intraocular lens to ciliary sulcus after a posterior capsular rupture. Patient developed pupillary block and IOP rise on postoperative day 1. Anterior chamber was reformed and IOP returned to normal levels following a neodymium:YAG laser peripheral iridotomy. Reverse implantation of the angulated IOLs to the ciliary sulcus has a potential to induce pupillary block which could be relieved by laser peripheral iridotomy.
