Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Aim: To report a case of uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome secondary to a tilted toric intraocular lens (IOL). Background: Over the past few decades, upgrades in lens design, surgical techniques, and posterior chamber IOLs have drastically decreased the incidence of UGH syndrome. We present a rare case of UGH syndrome developing 2 years after a seemingly uneventful cataract surgery and its subsequent management. Case description: A 69-year-old female presented with episodes of sudden visual disturbance in her right eye 2 years after a seemingly uneventful cataract surgery with placement of a toric IOL. Workup included ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), which revealed a tilted IOL and confirmed haptic-induced iris transillumination defects consistent with the diagnosis of UGH syndrome. The patient underwent surgical repositioning of the IOL, which led to the resolution of UGH. Conclusion: Uuveitis-glaucoma-hyphema developed from a tilted toric IOL inducing posterior iris chaffing. Careful examination and UBM revealed the IOL and haptic out of the bag position, which was critical in determining the underlying UGH mechanism. The surgical intervention led to the resolution of UGH syndrome. Clinical significance: In patients with a history of uneventful cataract surgery who develop UGH-like symptoms, continued examination of implant orientation and haptic position is critical in preventing the need for future procedures.
