High intraocular pressure in eyes with late in-the-bag intraocular lens dislocation

The frequency of late in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation has increased over the past decades. Important predisposing factors are pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF), myopia, previous vitreoretinal surgery, and trauma,1 –3 and there is also an association with glaucoma.1–4 Furthermore, some studies report high intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with IOL dislocation despite no known glaucoma.1–5 Accordingly, it has been speculated whether the dislocation can cause an IOP increase.
