Abstract:

We report a painless and progressive Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis presenting with visual dimness. Examination revealed stellate keratic precipitates, light-colored iris, posterior subcapsular cataract, and normal intraocular pressure (IOP). Phacoemulsification was planned. After peribulbar anesthesia and digital massage, there was significant hyphema and increased IOP. Surgery was postponed until hyphema cleared and normal IOP occurred. Patient eventually gained visual acuity 6/6.
