When intraocular hemorrhage occurs following cataract surgery and lens implantation, ghost cell glaucoma may develop. An intraocular lens (IOL) may be a factor in recurrent bleeding, particularly in the predisposed patient. Six patients with ghost cell glaucoma following cataract surgery and lens implantation are described. Because intraocular pressure (IOP) was uncontrolled, vitrectomy was performed to remove the reservoir of ghost cells. In each case, postoperative visual acuity improved to 20/40 or better and IOP was controlled with the use of medications.
