description PURPOSE: To report a case of iris epithelium detachment following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. OBSERVATIONS: We describe the case of an 81 year old woman who developed hyphema and detachment of the iris epithelium following standard Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. The detachment was readily visualized using anterior segment OCT. The hyphema was managed with topical atropine and steroids. The detachment itself was left untreated. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: No persisting subjective complaints or effect on visual function were noted. To our knowledge, this complication represents a novel observation.
