Clear lens extraction in plateau iris with bilateral acute angle closure in young.
Journal of Glaucoma 2013 December
PURPOSE: We report resolution of bilateral angle closure in a young patient with plateau iris following clear lens extraction
METHODS: A 30 year old female presented with bilateral angle closure.
RESULT: After a failed attempt of laser iridotomy, there was immediate resolution of angle closure following clear lens extraction by phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Postoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy identified anteriorly rotated ciliary processes in both eyes.
CONCLUSIONS: This case report highlights the role of therapeutic clear lens extraction in angle closure due to plateau iris.
