Refer to the picture above. a. What signs are present?
a. What signs are present?
b. What is the refractive effect of this complication?
Answer a a. Pupil capture of an intraocular lens. b. Trabeculectomy bleb. c. iridectomy. Answer b Against-the-rule astigmatism. In this case of pupil capture, the lens is tilted along its vertical axis thus causing an against-the-rule astigmatism. This complication occurs most commonly if the lens is not placed in the capsule; a capsulotomy rather than capsulorrhexis is performed and in the presence of synechiae.
