Abstract
Pigmentary glaucoma is a type of secondary open-angle glaucoma. Mainly it is a consequence of pigment dispersion syndrome, which is characterized by pigment accumulation in the anterior segment of the eye. Pigment in the trabecular meshwork can cause increased intraocular pressure leading to glaucomatous damage of the optic nerve. We present a case of 40-year-old myopic male with typical symptoms of pigmentary dispersion syndrome who received late diagnosis of the disease. The correct diagnosis of pigmentary dispersion syndrome is crucial in preventing glaucomatous vision impairment.
