چکیده

This article describes uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome following posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation in a 51-year-old male patient who had had intermittent blurred vision for 2 years prior to cataract surgery. We found the lens haptics fixed in the sulcus and the lens rotated. The lens was extracted and a new implant inserted with a transscleral suture. Etiology of the syndrome in this patient was an unstable sulcus fixation.
