Abstract Purpose:To report a case of elevated intraocular pressure(IOP)caused by a dislocated lens nucleus in the vitreous cavity and managed with vitrectomy. We evaluated postoperative changes in the retinal and choroidal thickness, and optic nerve head(ONH)blood flow.

Observations:A 74-year-old woman was referred to our department eight days after a cataract surgery at another hospital, with complications of posterior capsule rupture and lens nucleus dislocation. She presented with an IOP of 60 mmHg and light perception vision. We performed an urgent vitrectomy to remove the dislocated nucleus. Two days postoperatively, the IOP decreased to 25 mmHg, with ONH blood flow measurements showing a tissue mean blur rate(MT)of 10.1 AU and vascular mean blur rate(MV)of 26.2 AU. Three months postoperatively, the IOP was 16 mmHg, MV increased to 41.7 AU, and MT decreased to 8.2 AU. Five months postoperatively, the IOP was 13 mmHg, MV was 40.5 AU, and MT was 8.6 AU. One year postoperatively, the IOP was 16 mmHg, MV was 37.8 AU, and MT further reduced to 7.1 AU. Furthermore, progressive thinning of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(cpRNFL)was observed, resulting in optic nerve atrophy and significant visual field defects by 10 months postoperatively.

Conclusion:We performed a vitrectomy to address the elevated intraocular pressure resulting from phacogenic uveitis. This intervention increased the MV, indicative of preserved autoregulation of retinal blood flow. Conversely, a reduction in MT was observed, suggesting disrupted autoregulation of optic tissue blood flow. These alterations in MT are likely contributors to the thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer and the progression of visual field defects.
