%X ment dispersion syndrome associated with intraocular lens implantation: a new surgical technique Case report (4588) Total Article Views Authors: M Isabel Canut Jordana, Daniel P¨¦rez Formig¨®, Rodrigo Abreu Gonz¨˘lez, et al Published Date November 2010 Volume 2010:4 Pages 1263 - 1266 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/OPTH.S14361 M Isabel Canut Jordana1, Daniel P¨¦rez Formig¨®1, Rodrigo Abreu Gonz¨˘lez2, Jeroni Nadal Reus1 1Barraquer Ophthalmology Centre, Barcelona, Spain; 2University Hospital of La Candelaria, Tenerife, Spain Aims: We report the case of a myopic patient who, after intraocular lens transplant in the posterior chamber, suffered elevated intraocular pressure due to pigment dispersion, with recurrent episodes of blurred vision. The patient was treated with a new surgical technique that can avoid potential iridolenticular contact. Methods: Complete ophthalmologic examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the anterior segment were performed. Results: Contact between the pigmentary epithelium and the iris with an intraocular lens was revealed by utrasound biomicroscopy and OCT. In this case, Nd:YAG laser iridotomy and laser iridoplasty were not effective for iridolenticular separation and control of the pigment dispersion. We propose a new technique: stitches on the surface of the iris to obtain good iridolenticular separation and good intraocular pressure control. Conclusion: Stitches on the iris surface should be considered as optional therapy in pigmentary glaucoma secondary to intraocular lens implantation. This surgical technique can avoid potential iridolenticular contacts more definitively.
