Abstract
Introduction: We report a case of bilateral pigment dispersion syndrome after 13 years of uncomplicated implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery.
Case presentation: A 53-year-old woman was referred from her optometrist to our glaucoma clinic due to early superonasal visual field loss in both eyes. She was asymptomatic with no changes in visual acuity and had undergone bilateral ICL implantation 13 years ago to correct her high myopia. Clinical examination revealed pigment deposition on the corneal endothelium, iris transillumination defects, and iris vaulting at the areas of contact with the ICL. Gonioscopy showed open angles with significant pigmentation of the trabecular meshwork. The diagnosis of pigment dispersion syndrome secondary to ICL implantation was made, and subsequent follow-up visits demonstrated normal intraocular pressure IOP and stable visual fields.
Conclusion: Pigmentary dispersion syndrome can occur several years after ICL implantation. This case report emphasizes the need for long-term follow-up and monitoring after ICL surgery.
期刊介绍:
This peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of ophthalmology, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, toxicities of therapy, supportive care, quality-of-life, and survivorship issues. The submission of negative results is strongly encouraged. The journal will also accept case reports dealing with the use of novel technologies, both in the arena of diagnosis and treatment. Supplementary material is welcomed. The intent of the journal is to provide clinicians and researchers with a tool to disseminate their personal experiences to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. Universally used terms can be searched across the entire growing collection of case reports, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
