Clear lens extraction in plateau iris with bilateral acute angle closure in young.
OBJECTIVE
We report resolution of bilateral angle closure in a young patient with plateau iris following clear lens extraction


METHODS
A 30 year old female presented with bilateral angle closure.


RESULTS
After a failed attempt of laser iridotomy, there was immediate resolution of angle closure following clear lens extraction by phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Postoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy identified anteriorly rotated ciliary processes in both eyes.


CONCLUSIONS
This case report highlights the role of therapeutic clear lens extraction in angle closure due to plateau iris.
