Glaucoma can develop years after congenital cataract surgery, but early detection and treatment are successful in most cases. Careful monitoring is essential for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Congenital cataract surgery is a common procedure in pediatric ophthalmology.
  • Secondary glaucoma is a known complication following cataract surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the characteristics of glaucoma developing after congenital cataract surgery.
  • To identify factors influencing the diagnosis and treatment of post-congenital cataract surgery glaucoma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patient records.
  • Analysis of cases with glaucoma following congenital cataract surgery.

Main Results:

  • Sixty-four eyes from 38 patients were analyzed.
  • Open-angle glaucoma was the most common type (79.7%).

  • Glaucoma diagnosis occurred a mean of 12.2 years post-surgery, with a wide time range.

    • Conclusions:

    • Predicting which eyes will develop glaucoma post-congenital cataract surgery is not currently possible.
    • Glaucoma detected after congenital cataract surgery is treatable in most instances.
    • Regular, thorough follow-up examinations are crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
