title: Acute angle closure glaucoma after oculoplastic surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe two patients with acute angle closure glaucoma after oculoplastic surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Interventional case reports.
  
  
  METHODS
  Review of clinical findings and treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 61-year-old female developed a painful eye with decreased visual acuity a few days after bilateral blepharoplasty. A 69-year-old male developed a painful red eye with decreased visual acuity a few days after ptosis correction. In both cases the intraocular pressure increased to more than 50 mmHg. Both patients were diagnosed with acute angle closure glaucoma and treated appropriately.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Acute angle closure glaucoma is a possible complication of oculoplastic surgery.
