A Case of Pigment Dispersion Syndrome after Placement of Sulcus Intraocular Lens with 7-mm Optic Diameter after Posterior Capsule Rupture.

ABSTRACT: A 48-year-old woman diagnosed with primary angle closure suspect (PACS) in the right eye underwent cataract surgery, and a 7-mm optic diameter intraocular lens (IOL) was placed in the ciliary sulcus after intraoperative posterior capsule rupture. The patient developed uveitis and blurred vision the next day. The IOL was fixed between the iris and the anterior capsule. Irregularly shaped pupils due to posterior synechia and pigmentation on the IOL surface were observed. In the Scheimpflug image, the IOL on the anterior capsule was observed and the anterior chamber depth was 2.92 mm. A diagnosis of pigment dispersion syndrome and elevated intraocular pressure due to sulcus IOL placement was made. The patient underwent intrascleral IOL fixation surgery using an already inserted IOL to reposit
