Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the use of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) to diagnose pseudophakic glaucoma, a condition where intraocular pressure increases after cataract surgery.
  • - In a case series of 29 patients, UBM revealed various causes of pseudophakic glaucoma, including issues related to intraocular lenses and inflammation in the eye.
  • - The findings emphasize that UBM is an effective tool for identifying the underlying reasons for elevated intraocular pressure in patients post-cataract surgery, aiding in better management of the condition.

Article Synopsis
  • A case report discusses a patient with Marfan syndrome who experienced acute glaucoma due to a dislocated crystalline lens that had been in the vitreous for over 20 years.
  • * Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting connective tissue, often leading to eye problems, including lens dislocation (ectopia lentis), which is a key diagnostic sign.
  • * This particular case is noteworthy because it involves a complete spontaneous lens dislocation that developed into secondary open-angle glaucoma caused by lens particles.

Article Synopsis
  • A 4-year-old boy with an untreated congenital cataract and persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) developed lens particle glaucoma.
  • Initially, his intraocular pressure (IOP) was stable, but nine months later, the IOP increased and required surgical intervention.
  • The case illustrates the importance of closely monitoring patients with unilateral congenital cataracts, as late complications like lens-induced glaucoma can arise.

We report a case of traumatic mature cataract with a late occurrence of lens particle glaucoma after 11 years of trauma due to a presence of an occult intralenticular glass foreign body which was detected accidentally during the cataract surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics of eyes with a posteriorly dislocated lens nucleus during phacoemulsification and to assess the results of the management.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Nagoya University School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.

Methods: Fifteen eyes (15 patients) with posteriorly dislocated lens nuclei during phacoemulsification were evaluated retrospectively.

Purpose/methods: We observed an unusual case of lens-induced glaucoma that occurred 65 years after congenital cataract extraction. We successfully treated the patient by removing the residual lens material with pars plana vitrectomy.

Results/conclusions: The intraocular specimen exhibited lens material, epithelial cells, and macrophages.

Lens-induced glaucoma.

Doc Ophthalmol

February 1993

Department of Ophthalmology, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York.

Article Synopsis
  • - The crystalline lens can cause various types of glaucoma, each having unique characteristics and mechanisms of how they develop.
  • - These glaucoma types include issues like lens dislocation, swelling due to cataracts, and conditions like pupillary block and aqueous misdirection, among others.
  • - Effective treatment for these lens-related glaucomas often involves changing the anatomical structure around the lens or even removing the lens itself, and the text will cover how to diagnose and treat these conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • Lens-induced glaucoma can manifest as either secondary angle-closure or open-angle glaucoma due to issues related to the lens, like dislocation or swelling.
  • Phacolytic glaucoma arises when soluble lens proteins leak from a cataractous lens, obstructing outflow pathways and causing severe open-angle glaucoma.
  • Surgical removal of the lens or lens material is an effective treatment for these types of glaucoma, allowing for proper management and potential cure.
