Secondary angle closure in a pseudophakic eye due to pupillary block, more than a decade following phacoemulsification, has not been reported. We managed a 75-year-old female presenting with sudden, painful diminution of vision and raised intraocular pressure in the right eye. The key finding was an almost flat anterior chamber with intraocular lens in normal position clinically as well as on ultrasound biomicroscopy. The posterior chamber was ballooned up by vitreous, which was cleared surgically to restore the anatomy. Meticulous clinical examination augmented by ultrasound biomicroscopy findings helped us to diagnose and manage this case for satisfactory intraocular pressure and visual outcome.
