title: Late-onset anterior dislocation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens in a patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
abstract: Here, we report on a patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome who developed acute angle-closure glaucoma with a marked myopic shift due to anterior dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens almost 16 months after an uneventful phacoemulsification. Examination with a Scheimpflug camera was extremely useful in confirming the diagnosis. This is the fist case of late-onset angle-closure glaucoma with a significant myopic shift due to anterior dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens, which resulted in a permanent alteration of the postoperative target refraction.
