    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pupillary-block glaucoma, a complication of intraocular lens surgery, can be prevented and treated with early mydriasis and medical or surgical interventions. This review highlights diagnosis and management pitfalls for iris-supported lenses.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Pupillary-block glaucoma is a primary postoperative complication following intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
    • This condition occurs with various IOL types but is emphasized in cases using iris-supported lenses.

    Observation:

    • The study presents four cases of iris-supported pseudophakic pupillary-block glaucoma.
    • An incidence of 3-8% was observed in the presented series.
    • Obstruction of aqueous flow at the pupil and iridectomy site by inflammation, hemorrhage, or lens material is a key factor.

    Findings:

    • Review of pupillary-block glaucoma associated with all IOL types, focusing on iris-supported lenses.
    • Discussion of diagnostic and management challenges.
    • Emphasis on early mydriasis, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and hyperosmotic agents as primary medical treatments.

    Implications:

    • Surgical treatments include iridectomy, laser iridotomy, or iris transfixation.
    • Highlights the importance of recognizing and managing this complication promptly.
    • Provides insights into preventing and treating pupillary-block glaucoma in pseudophakic patients.
