Phacoanaphylactic glaucoma is a rare type of lens-induced glaucoma that mimics the clinical presentation of acute congestive glaucoma but with an open angle and raised intraocular pressure (IOP). A middle-aged male patient presented with cloudiness of the cornea and pain in the left eye with visual acuity limited to hand movements and raised IOP for 1 day. Slit lamp examination revealed corneal epithelial edema and a turbid anterior chamber (AC). Prompt diagnosis and management with anti-glaucoma medication and cataract extraction helped restore good visual acuity.Abstract
