Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Research
  • Cataract Surgery

Background:

  • Phacomorphic glaucoma is prevalent in rural India, linked to delayed cataract extraction and abundant cortical matter.
  • Management strategies vary across India, Southeast Asia, and Australia, causing controversy.
  • The pathogenesis is understood, but visual outcomes and complication rates remain poorly explained.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the management of phacomorphic glaucoma (senile cataract-induced).
  • To assess intraoperative and post-operative complications associated with phacomorphic glaucoma.
  • To investigate the effects of high intraocular pressure (IOP) and surgical trauma on the corneal endothelium.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of phacomorphic glaucoma cases.

  • Evaluation of surgical techniques and outcomes.
  • Assessment of corneal endothelial cell counts and morphology post-surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed findings on management approaches and complication rates are presented.
    • The study quantifies the impact of high IOP and surgical trauma on corneal endothelium.
    • Correlation between surgical outcomes and pre-operative factors is discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Phacomorphic glaucoma management requires tailored approaches considering regional factors.
    • Understanding and mitigating complications are crucial for improving visual outcomes.
    • Further research is needed to optimize surgical interventions and protect corneal health.
