Phakic posterior chamber intraocular lens pupillary block

J Cataract Refract Surg. 2002 Dec;28(12):2222-8. doi: 10.1016/s0886-3350(02)01303-2.

Abstract

A 49-year-old woman developed bilateral pupillary block after implantation of a phakic posterior chamber intraocular lens despite patent-appearing but nonfunctional peripheral iridotomies. This case serves as a basis to identify clinical signs that distinguish this diagnosis from other causes of elevated intraocular pressure and types of pupillary block.
