Abstract

Two patients developed pupillary block glaucoma after extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber lens but without peripheral iridectomies. The intraocular pressure of each eye was successfully controlled with laser iridotomy. No long-term medication was necessary to control their intraocular pressures.
