This video, from the WGC-2019 Film Festival, demonstrates an unusual complication of femtosecond cataract surgery in a hypertensive patient with glaucoma and a shallow anterior chamber.
The docking resulted in a hypertensive crisis and intraoperative shallowing of the anterior chamber with iris herniation through the side ports.
The patient was managed with lowering of blood pressure and IOP and cataract surgery was subsequently performed after a 60-minute interval using iris hooks to dilate the pupil.

The ciliary processes, Pan Retinal Photocoagulation scars and the equatorial region of the capsular bag are easily visible.
