Intraocular pressure rise is a common complication after neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd-YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy. Although in most cases it is related to an inflammatory response, there are other possible mechanisms such as misdirection syndrome and pupillary block. The authors report two cases of pupillary block by vitreous prolapse after Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy evaluated by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). UBM allows to differentiate possible causes of intraocular pressure rising after laser capsulotomy even in cases of corneal opacity. It also allows to detect intraocular lens dislocation, sometimes associated with this situation. This is the first report that describes the characteristics of UBM images of this complication.

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate whether intraocular (IOP) elevation post-cataract surgery can be reduced by using tropicamide and phenylephrine only, without cyclopentolate. Medical records across two surgical facilities were analyzed. One surgical facility (Cohort A) used a combination of tropicamide, cyclopentolate, and phenylephrine preoperatively, while the other (Cohort B) used tropicamide and phenylephrine only. Of patients in Cohort A, 63.6% (n = 7) had a higher IOP in the operated eye, while it was only 27.3% (n = 3) in Cohort B. Therefore, it is preferable to exclude the use of cyclopentolate in the preoperative dilation regimen of patients undergoing cataract surgery. However, a study with a larger sample population is required to further evaluate the significance of these results.
