In a literature report entitled "pseudouveitis and iris atrophy in pigment dispersion syndrome after sulcus implantation of a one-piece iol with square edge haptics", the author discussed a patient with pigment dispersion syndrome following intraocular lens (iol) implantation in the ciliary sulcus.The patient was mistakenly treated for non-granulomatous anterior uveitis.She developed irvine-gass syndrome in the right eye post-operatively with episodes of ocular pain, blurred vision, and headaches, starting a few months after the procedure.She was treated with a topical steroid and hypotensive drugs.Iris atrophy, capsular folds and a capsular tear were present on postoperative examination.It was noted that after several crises, the disease became self-limiting.
