Glaucoma surgery increases the risk of cataract development and progression. This review confirms visually significant cataracts after glaucoma surgery based on clinical trials and case series.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Research
  • Cataract Research

Background:

  • Glaucoma surgery is a common treatment for lowering intraocular pressure.
  • Cataract formation is a known potential complication following ocular surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing evidence on cataract incidence and progression after glaucoma surgery.
  • To assess the risk of cataract development post-glaucoma procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of relevant scientific literature.
  • Analysis of studies published in English, including randomized clinical trials and case series.

Main Results:

  • Evidence from randomized clinical trials and large case series supports reports of visually significant cataracts after glaucoma surgery.

  • Data indicates a correlation between glaucoma surgery and subsequent cataract development.

    • Conclusions:

    • Patients undergoing glaucoma surgery face an elevated risk for developing and progressing cataracts.
    • Ophthalmologists should consider the increased likelihood of cataract formation in patients post-glaucoma surgery.
