To report a case of acute lens particle glaucoma with an intraocular foreign body that persisted for a long duration.

A 47-year-old man visited our clinic due to severe pain in his right eye. His uncorrected visual acuity was hand movement, and intraocular pressure (IOP) measured by a Goldmann applanation tonometer was 76 mmHg in the right eye. Severe corneal edema and floating lens materials in the anterior chamber were revealed by slit-lamp examination. An ultrasonography scan showed that the lens had dislocated into the vitreous cavity and revealed vitreous opacities. To remove lens materials and control IOP, anterior chamber irrigation and trans pars plana vitrectomy with lensectomy were performed under local anesthesia. During the operation, an intraocular foreign body was removed from the anterior chamber. Dislocated lens particles were removed by vitrectomy. After the operation, his best corrected visual acuity was 1.0, and intraocular pressure was 12 mmHg in the right eye.

Close observation is needed in cases with lens particle glaucoma, because a long-persisting intraocular foreign body can be accompanied by lens particle glaucoma.
