Purpose: To report a case of the resolution of Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphema (UGH) Syndrome after a solid state 532 nm frequency-doubled neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser iridoplasty guided by temporary conjunctival markings.

Design: Interventional Case Report.

Methods: In a case of UGH Syndrome in a 79 year-old male, the decision was made to perform a Nd:YAG laser iridoplasty guided by temporary conjunctival markings along the transilluminated defects created from the IOL haptic.

Results: UGH syndrome in this patient had resolved, with follow-up to seven months.

Conclusion: In an active UGH Syndrome case, prior to decisions for an intraocular surgery, a laser iridoplasty should be considered as this technique has the potential of resolution of the complications of UGH syndrome.
