  • Title: Neodymium-YAG vitreous surgery for phakic and pseudophakic malignant glaucoma.
    Author: Brown RH, Lynch MG, Tearse JE, Nunn RD.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1986 Oct; 104(10):1464-6. PubMed ID: 3767675.
    Abstract:
    Ciliary block (malignant glaucoma) developed in a phakic eye and a pseudophakic eye with a posterior chamber intraocular lens and an intact posterior capsule. In both cases, neodymium-YAG laser treatment (2 to 3 mJ) to the anterior vitreous relieved the blockage, and the anterior chamber returned to normal depth. When technically possible, the neodymium-YAG laser may be used to treat phakic and pseudophakic malignant glaucoma before resorting to surgical vitrectomy.
