Lens protein allergic glaucoma

Lens hypersensitivity (phacoanaphyaxis) is a rare eye disease with granulomatous inflammation. It occurs after extracapsular cataract extraction, phacoemulsification, and can be combined with or without vitreous expulsion. After an incubation period, the patient develops an immune allergic reaction to his own lens protein. Lens protein allergic glaucoma (phacoanaphylactic glaucoma), which is relatively rare in clinical practice, is caused by an allergic reaction caused by lens protein after cataract surgery or lens damage. When endophthalmitis caused by allergy to lens proteins occurs in the eye, the angle of the room is damaged, the drainage of aqueous humor is blocked, and the intraocular pressure is increased. ).
