| Sumari: | Presence of iridescent particles is a well-known clinical condition in phacolytic glaucoma patients with severe high intraocular pressure.
Several articles stated that hyperchromatic crystalline deposits were cholesterol crystalline deposits. However, some articles focus on the
possible oxalate content of the hyperchromatic crystalline material. Nevertheless, there are few articles which provide information about
these crystalline structures at the microscopic level. The purpose of this manuscript was to report the case of a phacolytic glaucoma
patient with intense crystalline accumulation in the anterior chamber and to present the microscopic features of these crystalline deposits.
