Abstract:
After posterior chamber intraocular lens insertion, a patient complained of "glare" and of seeing an "extra line." The pupil was seen to be "peaked" at the 10-o'clock meridian, exposing a lens positioning hole. Following dilation, adhesions between the anterior capsule remnants and the posterior iris surface were seen. These adhesions were severed with a Nd:YAG laser, restoring the normal pupillary shape and eliminating the patient's optical aberrations.
