What is Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphema Syndrome (UGH Syndrome)?
Uveitis-Glaucoma-Hyphema (UGH) Syndrome is a triad of complications caused by mechanical irritation from an intraocular lens (IOL), typically after cataract surgery. The IOL edge or haptic chafes against the iris or ciliary body, causing chronic inflammation (uveitis), elevated intraocular pressure (glaucoma), and recurrent bleeding (hyphema). While classically associated with older anterior chamber IOLs, it can occur with any poorly positioned lens implant.
