The authors refer about a female patient with pigmentary glaucoma after implantation of iris claw intraocular negative dioptrie power lens. Because of high myopia, eight years ago, a phakic iris claw intraocular negative dioptrie power lens was implanted in the right eye and a photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) was performed in the left eye in a 32 years old woman. During the postoperative examinations the patient complained about headaches, and in the right eye elevated intraocular pressure was detected. On the intraocular lens surface, as well as in the anterior chamber angle, a dispersion of pigmented cells was detected and the perimetric examination revealed visual field defects characteristic for glaucoma. Findings in the left eye were normál. In the literatuře, reports about secondary glaucoma in eye with implanted iris claw lens and functional iridectomy are not so common. With growing number of implanted phakic iris claw intraocular lenses, the long-term follow up of those patients will be useful.
