Department of Ophthalmology, The Toronto Hospital, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Two patients developed uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome secondary to implantation of handmade anterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs). The IOLs were designed and made by the patients' ophthalmologists in their native Ukraine. The cases illustrate innovative and unusual solutions to the shortage of quality IOLs in the developing world and the challenging management of patients who present with complications arising from these IOLs.

D005901	Glaucoma	An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
