Etiology and Management of Raised Intraocular Pressure following Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Myopic Eyes

Abstract

In our series, OHT was seen in 4.85% and glaucoma in 0.3% eyes that underwent V4b and V4c model ICL implantation. Multiple etiologies were noted and steroid induced ocular hypertension was the most common cause of elevated IOP followed by retained viscoelastic and pupillary block. One third of these eyes required longterm AGM for IOP control.
