Fox shield treatment of the UGH syndrome.
The uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome has been described with all types of intraocular lenses. The usual forms of therapy include miotics, mydriatics, steroids, antiglaucomatous medications, laser therapy, and surgical explanation. I describe five patients in whom the UGH syndrome resolved after long-term Fox shield treatment to prevent nocturnal hand-eye trauma.
