Case Report: A case is presented of an acute onset lens particle glaucoma originating from a crystalline lens spontaneously dislocated into the vitreous for more than 20 years in a patient diagnosed with Marfan syndrome.

Discussion: Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance caused by fibrillin gene mutation. Ectopia lentis is the predominant ocular abnormality and a major diagnostic criterion. Read More

Eur J Ophthalmol 2012 Oct 25. Epub 2012 Oct 25.

Department of Ophthalmology, The Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield - UK.

Purpose. To present a case of lens particle glaucoma in a child with an untreated unilateral congenital cataract and persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) and to discuss the implications for the management of unilateral congenital cataract.
Methods. Read More

Eye Sci 2012 Mar;27(1):47-9

The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.

Purpose: To report the treatment of late-onset lens particle glaucoma associated with posterior capsule rupture during pars plana vitrectomy.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 33-year-old man had severe pain and impaired vision in the left eye after vitrectomy, associated with white fleck-like particles circulating in the anterior chamber. Read More

Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol 2009 Apr;16(2):97-9

Department of Ophthalmology, Mohammed A. Rahman Al-Bahar Eye Centre, Ibn Sina Hospital, Ministry of Health, Kuwait.

We report a case of traumatic mature cataract with a late occurrence of lens particle glaucoma after 11 years of trauma due to a presence of an occult intralenticular glass foreign body which was detected accidentally during the cataract surgery. Read More

Department of Ophthalmology, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine, National University College of Medicine, 92 Chiram-dong, Jinju, Korea.

To report acute onset lens particle glaucoma associated with a spontaneous anterior capsular dehiscence. A 66-year-old man presented with spontaneous anterior lens capsule dehiscence with an acute onset of right eye pain that was associated with white particles in the anterior chamber angle and intraocular pressure (IOP) of 55 mmHg. No trauma or other inflammatory antecedents were reported. Read More

Indian J Ophthalmol 2004 Dec;52(4):325-7

Bombay City Eye Institute & Research Centre, Mumbai, India.

A late onset lens-particle glaucoma secondary to trauma is reported. It was treated by cataract extraction and intraocular lens placement. Read More

Korean J Ophthalmol 2001 Dec;15(2):137-9

Department of Ophthalmology, Samsung Medical Center, School of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Korea.

A 60-year-old man visited our clinic with a sudden blurred vision and ocular pain in his right eye occurring 15 years after cataract surgery. The intraocular pressure (IOP) was 55 mmHg in the right eye and gonioscopy revealed a wide open angle with white cortical lens material in the inferior angle. Since the IOP was unable to be controlled with medical therapy, removal of the lens material was performed by irrigation and aspiration. Read More

Am J Ophthalmol 2001 Aug;132(2):261-3

Department of Ophthalmology, University of California, Davis School of Medicine, Sacramento, USA.

Purpose: To report acute onset lens particle glaucoma associated with pseudoexfoliation-related dislocation of an intraocular lens implant 12 years after cataract surgery.

Methods: Case report.

Results: An 80-year-old woman presented with acute onset of left eye pain that was associated with white fleck-like particles circulating in the anterior chamber and an intraocular pressure of 48 mm Hg. Read More

J Cataract Refract Surg 1997 Nov;23(9):1399-403

Nagoya University, Japan.

Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics of eyes with a posteriorly dislocated lens nucleus during phacoemulsification and to assess the results of the management.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Nagoya University School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.

Methods: Fifteen eyes (15 patients) with posteriorly dislocated lens nuclei during phacoemulsification were evaluated retrospectively. Read More

Am J Ophthalmol 1994 Dec;118(6):807-8

Department of Ophthalmology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, OH 44195-5024.

Purpose/methods: We observed an unusual case of lens-induced glaucoma that occurred 65 years after congenital cataract extraction. We successfully treated the patient by removing the residual lens material with pars plana vitrectomy.

Results/conclusions: The intraocular specimen exhibited lens material, epithelial cells, and macrophages. Read More

Doc Ophthalmol 1992 ;81(3):317-38

Department of Ophthalmology, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York.

The crystalline lens is implicated as a causative element in producing several forms of glaucoma. Etiologically they represent a diversity in the presentation of the glaucomatous process. These conditions include glaucoma related to: lens dislocation (ectopia lentis), lens swelling (intumescent cataract), classical pupillary block, aqueous misdirection--ciliary block, phacoanaphylaxis, lens particle, and phacolytic glaucoma. Read More

Ophthalmology 1982 Mar;89(3):227-30

Lens-induced glaucoma may occur as either secondary angle-closure or open-angle glaucoma. Dislocation or swelling of the lens can cause pupillary block and subsequent angle-closure glaucoma. Leakage of soluble lens proteins from a relatively intact cataractous lens can result in a severe secondary open-angle glaucoma (phacolytic glaucoma). Read More
