Abstract
A 59 years old man presented with a history of phacoemulsification with an hydrophobic intraocular lens implant in his left eye 4 years ago. The biomicroscopy revealed pigments in the corneal endothelium (Krukenberg’s spindle), peripheral transillumination of the iris and intraocular pressure of 52 mmHg in the left eye. Gonioscopy revealed hyperpigmentation of the posterior trabeculate. Posterior segment examination and visual field revealed a cup/disc 0.9 with significant field damage in strategy 10-2. Biomicroscopic ultrasonography showed asymmetric implantation of the IOL loops in the left eye (one loop in the ciliary sulcus and the other in the capsular bag). He underwent antiglaucomatous treatment with adequate control of intraocular pressure, with no need for surgical intervention.
