Pigmentary glaucoma associated with posterior chamber intraocular lenses

Six cases of glaucoma associated with pigment dispersion syndrome occurred after the implantation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses. All six patients had iris transillumination defects associated with the intraocular lens haptics, increased intraocular pressure, and pigment deposition in the trabecular meshwork and the anterior chamber. Medication controlled the glaucoma and none of the patients required further surgery.
