Abstract:
Excessive iris trauma during cataract surgery with or without IOL implantation and intermittent contact between the lens implant and the iris in the post-operative period may give rise to a pigment dispersion syndrome that can, in some cases, lead to a pigmentary glaucoma. This communication examines possible causes of the syndrome and the precautions to be undertaken in order to reduce its incidence.
