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.
