Anterior displacement of muscles using the hang-back technique in the rabbit eye is unacceptably high and occurred in 56% of the cases. A positive, statistically significant correlation exists between the amount of recession performed and the number of muscles displaced from their new insertion. Therefore, when performing large recessions using the hang-back technique displacement should be anticipated.

This study demonstrates that a persistent elevation of the IOP in patients suffering from chronic uveitis is, in the majority of cases, associated with the use of corticosteroids.

We present a rare case of anterior capsule adherence to the iris following extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and leading to Pseudophakie pupillary block. There were no synechiae at the pupillary margins associated with the capsule/iris adherence, but aqueous was entrapped behind the iris and intraocular pressure rose. Laser iridotomy was temporarily beneficial, but it had to be repeated several times.
