Abstract
Clinical picture of the “uveitis — glaucoma — hyphema” syndrome is characterized by a variety of symptoms and a wide range of their frequency due to numerous variants of the interaction between the intraocular lens (IOL) and the posterior surface of the iris, as well as the ciliary body processes. The presented clinical case of the “uveitis — glaucoma — hyphema” syndrome occurred in a patient under 70 years of age, with a blurred clinical picture manifesting as episodes of vision “clouding” over a period of 6 months, culminating in the emergence of myopic refraction and astigmatism, followed by an increase in intraocular pressure against the backdrop of worsening ametropia.
