Iris neovascularization and neurotrophic keratopathy following ultrasound cycloplasty in refractory glaucoma: case series.

BACKGROUND: Ultrasound cycloplasty is a noninvasive surgery used to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma, with fewer severe complications. This report presents several cases of iris neovascularization and neurotrophic keratopathy following ultrasound cycloplasty. CASE PRESENTATION: Six patients diagnosed with refractory glaucoma underwent ultrasound cycloplasty at our clinic. Three cases developed iris neovascularization at postoperative day 3, week 2 and week 4 respectively, with intraocular pressure ranging from 12 to 24 mmHg. The other three cases developed neurotrophic keratopathy at postoperative week 3, week 6 and week 8 which completely healed within 60 days. CONCLUSIONS: Iris neovascularization and neurotrophic keratopathy can be triggered after ultrasound cycloplasty, which are uncommon and self-limited but potentially vision-threatening. Preoperative risk assessment and regular postoperative follow-up are recommended to manage complications effectively.

The use of optical coherence tomography angiography to measure changes in iris vasculature after strabismus surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Anterior segment ischemia (ASI) is a rare but potentially sight-threatening complication of strabismus surgery. Preoperative imaging of the iris vasculature may be appropriate in patients at high risk of ASI. In clinical practice, this is currently done through invasive fluoresceine or indocyanine green (ICG) angiography and in study context through laser speckle contrast imaging. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of noninvasive optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) as a screening tool for ASI in strabismus surgery. METHODS: A prospective interventional trial was conducted from September until November 2021 at the Leuven University Hospitals. Patients scheduled for strabismus surgery to one or more rectus muscles underwent OCTA preoperatively and at day two postoperatively. The vascular density was calculated for all images with sufficient quality. Information on risk factors for ASI was collected. A two-sided t-test was used for pairwise comparison pre- and postoperatively. Filling defects were qualitatively assessed. RESULTS: Eighteen patients were included. In only seven muscles of five patients, images of sufficient quality on both image acquisition moments were suitable for statistical analysis. The mean age of these patients was 45.2 years and 40% were women. A mean vascular density of 53,099% preoperatively and a mean density of 50,782% postoperatively with a mean decrease of 2.316% (p = .318, 95% confidence interval [-2.886; 7.516]) was found. No filling defects were identified. DISCUSSION: The small final number of images contributing to statistical analysis shows that current application of the OCTA technique is hampered by poor image quality and poor repeatability. We identified difficulties in the image acquisition process and variable pupil size due to iris muscle contractions as the two main reasons. We believe that adjustments in the OCTA software such as pupil tracking and tracking of iris vasculature can largely overcome these limitations. Furthermore, there is a need for a normative database to allow good quantitative comparison and risk stratification. We conclude that OCTA could be suitable for screening in prevention of ASI with both qualitative and quantitative analysis if adjustments are made.

Urrets-Zavalia syndrome following cataract surgery in dogs: A case series.

Background: In human medicine, Urrets-Zavalia syndrome (UZS) is a well-recognized but uncommon postoperative complication characterized by a fixed dilated pupil, accompanied by iris atrophy and glaucoma. Although it was originally reported in 1963 after penetrating keratoplasty surgery for keratoconus, it has been associated with various ophthalmic procedures such as cataract surgery. The condition has not been previously published in the veterinary literature. Case Description: Three client-owned diabetic dogs that developed UZS´s triad after cataract surgery are described. Despite uneventful phacoemulsification in the six eyes, five developed moderate-to-severe postoperative ocular hypertension. Although intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes were initially controlled, fixed dilated pupils accompanied by iris atrophy and chronic ocular hypertension were seen in the five affected eyes. Aggressive medical and surgical management maintained vision in three of those eyes. In one eye, uncontrolled IOP led to blindness. Conclusion: This is the first published description of UZS in dogs, occurring after phacoemulsification. Although no exact, demonstrable causative element could be determined, we believe that should be considered a triggering condition for this syndrome, as it directly affects the ocular blood flow autoregulation and intrinsic uveal tissue integrity. Until the contrary is proved, diabetes mellitus might be considered as a risk factor for developing this syndrome after cataract surgery in dogs.

The efficacy and safety of intravitreal conbercept combined with mitomycin C augmented trabeculectomy for treating neovascular glaucoma.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal Conbercept (IVC) and trabeculectomy for treating neovascular glaucoma (NVG). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed a total of 29 eyes from 29 NVG patients. All patients received preoperative IVC combined with mitomycin C (MMC) augmented trabeculectomy with a 12-month follow-up. The best-corrected visual acuities (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), and cumulative survival rate were calculated. RESULTS: All 29 cases had complete regression of iris neovascularization at 7 days after the combination treatment, and 2 cases had residual iris neovascularization which regressed completely 1 month later. IOP decreased while BCVA improved significantly following the combination treatment. The success rates were 96.6%, 93.1%, 89.7%, 86.2%, and 82.8% at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after trabeculectomy, respectively. IVC injection combined trabeculectomy had few complications. CONCLUSIONS: IVC injection of conbercept combined with trabeculectomy is effective and safe for the treatment of NVG.

Aqueous Inflammation and Ischemia-Related Biomarkers in Neovascular Glaucoma with Stable Iris Neovascularization.

Purpose: To characterize the aqueous levels of inflammation and ischemia-related biomarkers in a spectrum of retinal ischemic conditions, including neovascular glaucoma (NVG) with stable iris neovascularization after pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) and anti-VEGF treatment. Methods: Aqueous samples were collected from 139 eyes including NVG (n = 12), stable NVG (n = 26), CRVO (n = 11), NPDR (n = 18), PACG (n = 18), PDR (n = 25), BRVO (n = 7) and cataract (n = 22). The levels of VEGF-A, IL-8 and EPO were measured with ELISA. Results: Aqueous VEGF-A significantly decreased after anti-VEGF and PRP, from 983.79 ± 821.16 pg/ml in the NVG group (n = 11) to 256.50 ± 51.14 pg/ml in the stable NVG group (n = 24) (P = .015). Aqueous VEGF-A in stable NVG group (256.50 ± 51.14 pg/ml, n = 24) was significantly higher (ANOVA, P < .001) than in CRVO (212.10 ± 19.84 pg/ml, n = 7, P = .017), NPDR (221.18 ± 38.21 pg/ml, n = 14, P = .015), BRVO (213.14 ± 48.50 pg/ml, n = 6, P = .028) and cataract group (185.30 ± 34.35 pg/ml, n = 22, P < .001). Aqueous IL-8 in stable NVG group (74.82 ± 10.78 pg/ml, n = 24) was significantly higher (ANOVA, P < .001) than in CRVO (65.19 ± 15.34 pg/ml, n = 11, P = .032) and cataract group (54.11 ± 12.28 pg/ml, n = 22, P < .001). Aqueous EPO in stable NVG group (17.48 ± 3.02 pg/ml, n = 24) was significantly higher (ANOVA, P < .001) than in BRVO (14.98 ± 2.57 pg/ml, n = 7, P = .034) and cataract group (13.50 ± 2.65 pg/ml, n = 22, P < .001). Aqueous concentrations of VEGF-A and IL-8 correlated positively with IOP (r = 0.413, P < .001, r = 0.349, P < .001, respectively, r = correlation coefficient). VEGF-A correlated positively with IL-8 and EPO (P < .001, P = .002, respectively). IL-8 correlated positively with EPO (P < .001). Conclusions: The aqueous levels of VEGF-A, IL-8 and EPO in NVG patients with stable iris neovascularization, who had received PRP and anti-VEGF, were still significantly higher than in control groups with some retinal ischemic conditions.

Spontaneous microscopic hyphema secondary to iris vascular tufts: Case report with video documentation.

A 71-year-old woman presented with spontaneous microhyphema in her left eye, causing blurry vision. Bleeding stopped spontaneously shortly after several cycles of digital compression on the upper eyelid, (which were documented in video), and therefore, did not require laser photocoagulation, a possible approach previously explained to the patient. A microhemangioma at the edge of the iris was identified to be the cause of the condition. The hemorrhage did not recur during the follow-up period (9 months).

Predictors of enucleation in Coats disease: analysis of 259 eyes of 259 patients at a single center.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of clinical features associated with enucleation in eyes with Coats disease. METHODS: The medical records of all patients with Coats disease at the Ocular Oncology, Wills Eye Hospital from November 1, 1973, to July 31, 2018, were reviewed retrospectively. The clinical features pertaining to need for ultimate enucleation and time to enucleation were compared. RESULTS: The records of 351 eyes were reviewed, of which 259 had follow-up at our center and 32 (12%) were managed with enucleation. Reasons for enucleation included neovascular glaucoma (n = 24 [75%]), possible tumor (6 [19%]), and phthisis bulbi (2 [6%]). Compared to nonenucleated eyes, enucleated eyes had more extensive clock hour involvement of telangiectasia (P < 0.001), light bulb aneurysms (P < 0.001), exudation (P < 0.001), and subretinal fluid (P < 0.001). On adjusted analysis by binomial logistic regression, variables predictive of enucleation included presence of iris neovascularization (P = 0.01), ultrasonographic retinal detachment (P = 0.004), open-funnel retinal detachment (P = 0.04), closed-funnel retinal detachment (P = 0.01), ultrasonographic elevation of subretinal fluid by millimeters (P = 0.001), and angiographic extent of light bulb aneurysms by clock hours (P = 0.02). By Kaplan-Meier analysis of 4-year cumulative risk of enucleation, risk factors for enucleation included presence of iris neovascularization (hazard ratio [HR] 31.0; P < 0.001), ultrasonographic retinal detachment (HR 56.2; P < 0.001), open-funnel retinal detachment (HR 2.7; P = 0.01), and closed-funnel retinal detachment (HR 4.5; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Clinical features that predict risk of and time to enucleation in eyes with Coats disease include iris neovascularization, ultrasonographic presence and millimeter-elevation of retinal detachment, and angiographic extent of light bulb aneurysms.

Observation of treated iris neovascularization by swept-source-based en-face anterior-segment optical coherence tomography angiography.

We evaluated regression of iris neovascularization (INV) using en-face anterior-segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. Seven consecutive eyes with INV were examined before and after anti-VEGF therapy, and all AS-OCTA scans were obtained using a swept-source OCTA system with an anterior-segment lens adapter. Slit-lamp microscopy photography and anterior indocyanine green angiography also were performed. Quantitative analyses of the vascular density, vascular lacunarity, and fractal dimension on AS-OCTA images were performed. AS-OCTA visualized the INV as signals around the pupillary margin, which corresponded to the vasculature confirmed by slit-lamp microscopy. After anti-VEGF drug injection, regression of INV was observed by AS-OCTA in all eyes (100%). The vascular density decreased and vascular lacunarity increased significantly after anti-VEGF therapy. This pilot study demonstrated the ability of AS-OCTA not only to detect but also to evaluate INV. Further study is warranted to improve the algorithm for delineating the iris vasculature to decrease artifacts.

Blood Vessels and Lymphatic Vessels in the Cornea and Iris After Penetrating Keratoplasty.

PURPOSE: To detect early growth of blood and lymphatic vessels in the mouse cornea and iris after penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS: Penetrating keratoplasty was performed with C57BL/6 mice as donors and BALB/c mice as recipients. Graft transparency and neovascularization were examined by slit-lamp microscopy. Whole mounts of the cornea and iris were processed for detection of the outgrowth of blood and lymph vessels. RESULTS: On day 3 after surgery, all corneal grafts were slightly edematous, and blood vessels in the corneoscleral limbus dilated. LYVE-1 lymphatic vessels and CD31 blood vessels were distributed in the peripheral cornea. In the iris, the density of blood vessels increased, and LYVE-1 cells nearly vanished. On day 7, the grafts became opaque, and blood vessels grew into the recipient bed. A great quantity of lymph vessels invaded the cornea. LYVE-1 arborescent cells were found around the lymphatic vessels. In the iris, blood vessels became bulky and stiff, and arborescent LYVE-1 cells increased in number. On day 14, corneal neovascular regression and graft clarity were found. Lymphatic vessels regressed more slowly than blood vessels in the cornea. In the iris, blood vessels remained coarse. Increasing arborescent LYVE-1 cells were also noted in the ciliary body. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the iris-ciliary body could amplify immune signals and in part promote initiation of immune rejection after keratoplasty by providing a pathway for macrophages, which might participate in corneal lymphangiogenesis.

Iris varix: 10-year experience with 28 eyes.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics, multimodality imaging findings, and clinical course of iris varices. METHODS: Retrospective, noncomparative, observational case series of 28 eyes of 26 patients with iris varices, diagnosed between 2007 and 2017, has been used. RESULTS: The mean (±SD) age was 58.3 ± 12.5 years (median 57.5, range 37-81). Patients were 57.7% male and 27% hypertensive. Varices were bilateral in two patients. The mean and median visual acuities were both 20/20 (range 20/16-20/40). Intraocular pressures were 16 mmHg (10-23 mmHg). Secondary glaucoma did not occur. The inferotemporal iris quadrant was affected in 75%. A single varix was seen in 64% and 36% appeared multiple. Varix orientation was radial in 57% and circumferential in 21%. Combined radial and circumferential varix orientation was noted in 18%. One had independent radial and circumferential varices in separate quadrants. A single episcleral sentinel blood vessel directed to the varix was present in 36%. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) showed a slightly increased mean iris thickness of 0.8 mm and multiple echolucent iris stromal vascular channels. Iris angiography showed no leakage of dye. Managed by observation over a mean follow-up of 37.7 months (range, 3-129), 96.4% eyes were stable and one (3.6%) regressed. No corectopia, ectropion uveae, hyphema, or metachronous anterior segment benign or malignant tumors occurred. CONCLUSION: Iris varix is primarily located in the inferotemporal quadrant and not associated with dysmorphic pupillary findings, progression, secondary glaucoma, or malignancy. Iris varices were benign vasculopathies with no associated ocular or vision-related morbidity.

Iris Microhemangiomatosis: Clinical, Fluorescein Angiography, and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Features in 14 Consecutive Patients.

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical and imaging findings and treatment options in a series of patients with iris microhemangiomatosis. DESIGN: Retrospective observational case series. METHODS: Setting: Single institution. STUDY POPULATION: Twenty-two eyes of 14 consecutive patients with iris microhemangiomatosis were reviewed. OBSERVATION PROCEDURES: Clinical examination and slit-lamp photography were performed on every patient. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA), anterior segment intravenous fluorescein angiography (AS-IVFA), and ultrasound biomicroscopy were performed when possible. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical and imaging features and treatment strategies. RESULTS: Twenty-two eyes of 14 patients with iris microhemangiomatosis were included in this series. Mean patient age was 70 years (range, 58-82 years), and all patients were white. The iris hemangiomatosis appeared as subtle, multifocal, ectatic vascular channels arranged circumferentially at the pupillary margin. Iris color was blue (n = 19 eyes) or green (n = 3 eyes), and the features were unilateral (n = 6 patients) or bilateral (n = 8 patients). Additional features included reduced visual acuity (n = 13 eyes), hyphema (n = 12 eyes), and glaucoma (n = 7 eyes). There was no history of ocular trauma or systemic vasculopathic conditions. AS-OCT documented the fine tuft at the pupillary margin, AS-OCTA showed vascular flow, and AS-IVFA demonstrated pupillary margin vascular lesions with mild staining. Observation was advised in 20 cases (91%), and argon laser photocoagulation was required for repetitive hyphema in 2 cases (9%). CONCLUSION: Iris microhemangiomatosis is a rare ocular condition, often manifesting with spontaneous unilateral hyphema and/or secondary glaucoma. AS-IVFA confirms the diagnosis, and intervention with laser photocoagulation is necessary in only 9% of eyes.

Association of Change in Iris Vessel Density in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography With Anterior Segment Ischemia After Strabismus Surgery.

Importance: Anterior segment ischemia (ASI) is a rare but potentially serious complication of strabismus surgery. Indocyanine green angiography and fluorescein angiography have been used to reveal iris-filling defects for clinicians considering a patient's risk of ASI. However, both are limited by invasive and time-consuming nature and potential adverse effects. Recently, optic coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) has been introduced and used to image iris vasculature in individuals without abnormalities. Objective: To determine the use of iris OCT-A for patients undergoing strabismus surgery and who are at risk for ASI. Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective case series study took place in an academic center. Adults undergoing strabismus surgery on at least 1 vertical muscle were prospectively recruited. The study took place from June to November 2017, and analysis began in January 2018. Interventions: Indocyanine green angiography and OCT-A of the iris preoperatively and 1 day postoperatively. Main Outcomes and Measures: A masked examiner evaluated all images and determined whether any filling defects were present qualitatively (lack of perfusion) and quantitatively (for OCT-A using internal software to calculate vessel density). Results: Ten eyes of 9 individuals (mean [SD] age, 63 [11] years) were included. Two individuals (22.2%) identified as Hispanic, and 7 (77.8%) identified as white. There were 6 women (66.7%). The mean preoperative vessel density (percentage of the area occupied by vessels) averaged for all quadrants decreased from 57% preoperatively to 55% postoperatively (mean difference, 2%; 95% CI, 0.4%-4.2%; P = .05). When comparing quadrants adjacent to operated muscles, the mean vessel density decreased from 56% to 53% (mean difference, 2.6%; 95% CI, 0.17%-4.8%; P = .02). In addition, OCT-A detected vascular filling defects in the quadrant adjacent to the operated muscle on the patients in whom they were present (n = 1, inferior rectus recession). Conclusions and Relevance: In this preliminary study, OCT-A determined iris vessel filling defects when present. In addition, OCT-A gives qualitative vessel density values that can be compared preoperatively and postoperatively although the clinical relevance of small differences is not known. While only 10 eyes were evaluated, and as such generalizability of these findings cannot be determined, the results suggest that OCT-A may be a useful tool in the evaluation of patients undergoing strabismus surgery to determine whether a patient is at risk to develop ASI.

Changes in Ocular Hemodynamics after Carotid Artery Angioplasty and Stenting (CAAS) in Patients with Different Severity of Ocular Ischemic Syndrome.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAAS) on patients who were diagnosed with ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS). METHODS: Sixty-four eyes of 64 OIS patients with ipsilateral internal carotid artery stenosis ≥70% were included in the study. The study eyes were divided into two groups according to the presence of iris neovascularization: NVI-absent group and NVI-present group, with 32 eyes, respectively. All patients received ocular treatment modality according to the presence of non-perfusion area (pan-retinal photocoagulation) and intraocular pressure (medical treatment included timolol maleate eye drops combined with brinzolamide eye drop; trabeculectomy and cyclophotocoagulation). All patients went through CAAS surgery for treatment of internal carotid artery stenosis. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA); intraocular pressure (IOP), slit lamp examination, iris fluorescence angiography, fundus fluorescein angiography and color Doppler ultrasound of the internal carotid artery (ICA), ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and short posterior ciliary arteries (PCA) were performed pre-operatively and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-operatively. RESULTS: There was no significant BCVA change postoperatively in the NVI-absent group, while postoperative BCVA in the INV-present group decreased significantly. There was no significant BCVA difference at pre-operative and 1month post-operative follow-up between the two groups. However, post-operative BCVA of NVI-present group starting from 3-months follow-up was significantly worse than NVI-absent group. Arm-retinal artery circulation time and arteriovenous circulation time decreased significantly in NVI-absent group, while showed no statistical difference in NVI-present group during the 12-months follow-up. Postoperative peak systolic velocity (PSV) of the ophthalmic artery, the central retinal artery, and short posterior ciliary artery showed significant increases at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months follow-up in both groups. CONCLUSION: CAAS can greatly improve ocular blood in OIS patients with and without iris neovascularization. However, CAAS improved BCVA only in patients without iris neovascularization.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Features of Iris Racemose Hemangioma in 4 Cases.

Importance: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) allows visualization of iris racemose hemangioma course and its relation to the normal iris microvasculature. Objective: To describe OCTA features of iris racemose hemangioma. Design, Setting, and Participants: Descriptive, noncomparative case series at a tertiary referral center (Ocular Oncology Service of Wills Eye Hospital). Patients diagnosed with unilateral iris racemose hemangioma were included in the study. Main Outcomes and Measures: Features of iris racemose hemangioma on OCTA. Results: Four eyes of 4 patients with unilateral iris racemose hemangioma were included in the study. Mean patient age was 50 years, all patients were white, and Snellen visual acuity was 20/20 in each case. All eyes had sectoral iris racemose hemangioma without associated iris or ciliary body solid tumor on clinical examination and ultrasound biomicroscopy. By anterior segment OCT, the racemose hemangioma was partially visualized in all cases. By OCTA, the hemangioma was clearly visualized as a uniform large-caliber vascular tortuous loop with intense flow characteristics superimposed over small-caliber radial iris vessels against a background of low-signal iris stroma. The vascular course on OCTA resembled a light bulb filament (filament sign), arising from the peripheral iris (base of light bulb) and forming a tortuous loop on reaching its peak (midfilament) near the pupil (n = 3) or midzonal iris (n = 1), before returning to the peripheral iris (base of light bulb). Intravenous fluorescein angiography performed in 1 eye depicted the iris hemangioma; however, small-caliber radial iris vessels were more distinct on OCTA than intravenous fluorescein angiography. Conclusions and Relevance: Optical coherence tomography angiography is a noninvasive vascular imaging modality that clearly depicts the looping course of iris racemose hemangioma. Optical coherence tomography angiography depicted fine details of radial iris vessels, not distinct on intravenous fluorescein angiography.

A novel in vivo model of puncture-induced iris neovascularization.

PURPOSE: To assess iris neovascularization by uveal puncture of the mouse eye and determine the role of angiogenic factors during iris neovascularization. METHODS: Uveal punctures were performed on BalbC mouse eyes to induce iris angiogenesis. VEGF-blockage was used as an anti-angiogenic treatment, while normoxia- and hypoxia-conditioned media from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells was used as an angiogenic-inducer in this model. Iris vasculature was determined in vivo by noninvasive methods. Iris blood vessels were stained for platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 and vascular sprouts were counted as markers of angiogenesis. Expression of angiogenic and inflammatory factors in the puncture-induced model were determined by qPCR and western blot. RESULTS: Punctures led to increased neovascularization and sprouting of the iris. qPCR and protein analysis showed an increase of angiogenic factors, particularly in the plasminogen-activating receptor and inflammatory systems. VEGF-blockage partly reduced iris neovascularization, and treatment with hypoxia-conditioned RPE medium led to a statistically significant increase in iris neovascularization. CONCLUSIONS: This study presents the first evidence of a puncture-induced iris angiogenesis model in the mouse. In a broader context, this novel in vivo model of neovascularization has the potential for noninvasive evaluation of angiogenesis modulating substances.

Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphaema Syndrome. General review.

Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphaema Syndrome (UGH syndrome, or "Ellingson" Syndrome) is a rare condition caused by the mechanical trauma of an intraocular lens malpositioned over adjacent structures (iris, ciliary body, iridocorneal angle), leading to a spectrum of iris transillumination defects, microhyphaemas and pigmentary dispersion, concomitant with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). UGH Syndrome can also be characterized by chronic inflammation, secondary iris neovascularization, cystoid macular edema (CME). The fundamental step in the pathogenesis of UGH syndrome appears to arise from repetitive mechanical iris trauma by a malpositioned or subluxed IOL. These patients have uncomplicated cataract implants and return for episodes of blurry vision weeks to months after surgery. This may be accompanied by pain, photophobia, erythropsia, anterior uveitis, hyphaema along with raised intraocular pressure. A careful history and examination, as well as appropriate investigations can confirm the diagnostic. Treatment options are IOL Explantation exchange, topical and systemic medication, and cyclophotocoagulation, the placement of a Capsular Tension Ring to redistribute zonular tension and Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) Therapy.
