Changes in glaucoma medication numbers after cataract and glaucoma surgery

glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery

purpose: to determine the incidence and risk factors associated with glaucoma following congenital cataract surgery (ccs) in children under age of 15 methods: this prospective cohort (since 2006) consisted of children less than 15 years of age who underwent cataract surgery with or without intraocular lens (iol) implantation. the role of the following factors on the development of glaucoma afte...

Gonioscopic changes after glaucoma surgery.

Trantas (I 907) made the first recorded observations on the angle of the anterior chamber, which he viewed through an ophthalmoscope while indenting the sclera at the limbus on the opposite side. He introduced the term gonioscopy, and found that a view could be obtained using either direct or indirect ophthalmoscopy. A few years later the first attempt to view the angle through a contact lens w...

Cataract Surgery Focus on Glaucoma

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY 35 E ndoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) involves laser ablation of the ciliary body epithelium under direct endoscopic visualization. The result is a lowering of IOP through a decrease in the production of aqueous humor. ECP can effectively treat most types of glaucoma. Often combined with phacoemulsification, ECP has been proven saf...

Cataract Surgery Focus on Glaucoma

SEPTEMBER 2010 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY 45 C ataract and glaucoma frequently occur in the same patient, especially as the world’s population ages. Studies have shown that cataract surgery alone is capable of modestly reducing IOP and minimizing the patient’s need for multiple eye drops to control his or her IOP.1 The decrease may be larger when the baseline pressure is higher. Many t...
