Back to the Future: Vitreous Pupillary Block and Glaucoma in a Child After Lensectomy

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2020 Jun 23:57:e48-e50. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20200522-01.

Abstract

The authors present a case of poorly controlled glaucoma following lensectomy. An examination under anesthesia revealed iris bombe of the anterior vitreous face. This case helps emphasize the importance of a generous anterior vitrectomy at the time of lensectomy in the pediatric population to avoid secondary glaucoma.
