We report the case of an 84-year-old man who presented with decreased vision in his left eye. Ocular history included bilateral pseudoexfoliative glaucoma and vitelliform macular dystrophy. He had undergone intraocular lens placement in both eyes 6 years before presenting at our institution. Over follow-up of 4 years, he experienced recurrent spontaneous hyphema and continued residual intracapsular hemorrhage. He was eventually diagnosed with uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome in the setting of pseudoexfoliation.
