Pupillary block angle closure after piggyback intraocular lens implantation

We report a case of a patient who presented with blurred vision and red eye 5 days after an uneventful implantation of a Sulcoflex intraocular lens for the management of a postoperative refractive surprise. On examination, a unilateral shallow anterior chamber with raised intraocular pressure was noted in the operated eye. Pupillary block was suspected, and a therapeutic neodymium:YAG laser peripheral iridotomy was performed. The final corrected distance visual acuity was 20/30.
