Purpose.
With this report we describe ultrasound biomicroscopic (UBM) findings in a patient with anterior megalophthalmos before and after undergoing phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.
Methods.
Phacoemulsification was carried out for nuclear sclerosis in both eyes of a patient diagnosed with anterior megalophthalmos.
The patient was subjected to detailed ophthalmic examination including ultrasound biomicroscopy and Scheimpflug imaging prior to and after surgery.
Preoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed a deep anterior chamber with posterior bowing of the midperipheral iris in both eyes.
The ciliary processes were inserted on the posterior surface of the iris.
UBM was repeated postoperatively as well.
Results.
Phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation (IOL) were carried out successfully in both eyes.
The IOLs were well centered and captured within the anterior capsulorhexis.
The anterior chambers were hyperdeep, 6.24 mm (OD) and 6.08 mm (OS), respectively.
The posterior bowing of the midperipheral iris was absent, with the iris having a more flat profile.
Conclusion.
UBM findings in anterior megalophthalmos seemed to partially resolve after cataract surgery.
The anterior chamber deepens appreciably as well.
