This 25 year-old man presented with a two-week history of pain and poor vision in the right eye. Examination revealed severe anterior uveitis, a raised intraocular pressure of 40mmHg and 360⁰ of posterior synechiae. He was started on anti-inflammatory and pressure lowering therapy. A peripheral laser iridotomy was performed to break the iris bombé as the pressure remained persistent high.
