Artigo em Inglês | IMSEAR | ID: sea-172215
ABSTRACT
Lens induced glaucomas are a common occurrence in rural areas of India. Early diagnosis and treatment of mature cataract is very important since delayed treatment of lens-induced glaucoma may result in poor visual outcome. An attempt was made to study the pattern and visual outcome in LIG cases attending the Department of Ophthalmology at Government Medical College, Jammu. A total of 25 patients with a diagnosis of LIG were analyzed. Out of these 15(60%) patients had phacomorphic and 10(40%) had phacolytic glaucoma respectively. All the patients were subjected to ECCE with PC IOL implantation. Postoperative BCVA upto 6/12 was achieved in 6(24%) and upto 6/60 in 16(64%) patients. Only three patients showed poor visual outcome. However, all the patients maintained postoperative IOP of < 20mm Hg without any additional antiglaucoma therapy.
