Abstract
- After uneventful phacoemulsification and in-the-bag implantation of an AcrySof SA60AT (Alcon) intraocular lens (IOL), a 52-year-old black man developed pigmentary glaucoma. Slitlamp examination, anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and ultrasound biomicroscopy showed that the posterior surface of the iris was being rubbed by the inferior haptic of the IOL, which was in the bag but deformed. Filtering surgery was needed to control the intraocular pressure. This type of IOL can cause IOL-induced pigmentary glaucoma.
