Figure 5 Proposed mechanism of hemolytic glaucoma following intravitreal aflibercept injectionA localized vitreous-base hemorrhage at the injection site led to hemolysis and anterior migration of erythrocyte components. Obstruction of the trabecular meshwork resulted in acute intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation. Prompt surgical management, including anterior chamber irrigation and pars plana vitrectomy, successfully normalized IOP. This figure was created by the authors.
