Fig. 24. Artist's rendition of malignant-like glaucoma in a pseudophakic eye with a large intraocular lens (such as a lens with a 7-mm optic) placed within the capsular bag. Crowding of the anterior segment occurs particularly in hyperopic eyes with creation of an iatrogenic posterior diversion of aqueous. Note posterior diversion and shallowing of the anterior chamber with pseudolenticular-ciliary block. (Reed JE, Thomas JV, Lytle RA, Simmons RJ: Malignant glaucoma induced by an intraocular lens.
