Advanced glaucoma following Nd:YAG capsulotomy: A case report

Abstract

Background: We present a case of aphakic pupil block caused by vitreous prolapse into the anterior chamber following Nd:YAG capsulotomy. Case presentation: This resulted in advanced glaucoma in a young patient, which presented a significant clinical management challenge. Conclusions: Ultimately, at the time of writing, her intraocular pressure and uveitis were well controlled, however the long-term outcome remains uncertain, given the uncompromising natural history of her complicated ocular condition.
