Botulinum toxin inhibits acetylcholine release and therefore could cause mydriasis. We report a case of acute angle-closure glaucoma which occurred shortly after a series of injections of botulinum toxin round the eyelids for blepharospasm.
Sixty-eight patients (76 eyes) who had undergone standard intercapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber lens implantation were reviewed for the presence of posterior synechiae between the anterior capsule remnants and the iris. Thirty-five eyes (46%) had such synechiae, the characteristics of which are described. Risk factors for the development of posterior synechiae in this type of surgery include intraoperative trauma, postoperative inflammation, and the size of the anterior capsulectomy.
