  • Title: Acute glaucoma following vitrectomy and silicone oil injection.
    Author: Zborowski-Gutman L, Treister G, Naveh N, Chen V, Blumenthal M.
    Journal: Br J Ophthalmol; 1987 Dec; 71(12):903-6. PubMed ID: 3426996.
    Abstract:
    Three cases are described of acute glaucoma following vitrectomy and silicone oil injection in proliferative vitreous retinopathy. The first case developed silicone-induced pupillary block in a phakic eye. Cases 2 and 3 developed elevated pressure in aphakic eyes with deep anterior chambers. Cases 1 and 3 were treated by laser iridectomy. Case 2 was treated by removal of silicone. The pathogenesis and treatment of these problems are discussed.
