Abstract
A 61-year-old woman experienced multiple episodes of transient visual blurring in her pseudophakic eye, each of which lasted about 1 hour. Repeat examination during a symptomatic episode revealed anterior chamber red blood cells consistent with a microhyphema in the pseudophakic eye despite intracapsular fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL). Ultrasound biomicroscopy confirmed intracapsular fixation of the IOL haptics and revealed proximity of the edge of the IOL optic to the inferior pupillary margin in the region of an iridociliary body cyst. Uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome may occur despite intracapsular fixation of a PC IOL.Entities:
