Sir,

An 85-year-old healthy man sustained a contusion injury on the left eye by a speedy badminton while playing the game. He had undergone uneventful phacoemulsification with manual continuous circular capsulorhexis (CCC) and implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) (Alcon® MZ30BD, 22.0 D) in the left eye in our hospital more than 5 years ago. The CCC was performed by using a bended 26-gauge needle as described by Gimbel and Neuhann.1 The IOL was made of PMMA with an optic/overall size of 5.5 mm/12.5 mm. There was no history of laser capsulotomy. According to the patient and the ophthalmologist who examined this patient 3 days after injury, the uncorrected visual acuity was 6/15 OS with 2+ cells in the anterior chamber, the intraocular pressure (IOP) was within normal limit, and the IOL was in good position. After 4 weeks, the patient was referred to us for deteriorating visual acuity and high IOP despite being treated with carteolol hydrochloride 2% and dorzolamide hydrochloride 2%.
