Glaucoma management in pseudophakia.

L F Cashwell, J W Reed

    Southern Medical Journal
    |October 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implants can lead to severe glaucoma. Management often requires intensive medical, laser, and surgical interventions for control.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Research
    • Cataract Surgery Outcomes

    Background:

    • Increasing rates of cataract extraction and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
    • Emergence of severe glaucoma as a complication in pseudophakic patients.
    • Need for effective management strategies for post-cataract surgery glaucoma.

    Observation:

    • A series of 41 patients (45 eyes) with uncontrolled glaucoma after IOL surgery.
    • Preexisting glaucoma in 23 eyes.
    • Sixteen distinct mechanisms identified as causes of postoperative glaucoma.
    • Three cases of acquired pigmentary glaucoma, one linked to IOL fixation issues.

    Findings:

    • Medical therapy alone provided control in only 14 of 45 eyes.
    • Laser procedures were employed in 24 eyes.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Combined laser and medical therapy achieved control in 19 eyes.
  • 12 eyes required 31 surgical procedures, including three enucleations.

    • Implications:

    • Post-intraocular lens glaucoma presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Multimodal treatment approaches are often necessary for glaucoma control.
    • Further research into IOL design and surgical techniques may mitigate glaucoma risk.
