Abstract

A case of posterior polar cataract developed sudden-onset ocular pain and blurred vision. Because of high intraocular pressure and shallow anterior chamber, iridotomy was done and anti-glaucoma medication was started without effect. Subsequently, right-eye vitrectomy was performed after postoperative malignant glaucoma developed. Left-eye intraocular pressure stabilized after accidental use of cycloplegic agent. This therapy was continued.
