Intraocular Lens Implantation in Phacomorphic Glaucoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Method: Cataract surgery was performed after controlling the intraocular pressure in patients presenting with acute phacomorphic glaucoma. Intraocular lenses were inserted in the bag after conventional extracapsular cataract extraction. Patients with minimum follow up of one year were analyzed for the study. Corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure and any complications of surgery were recorded.

The Use of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Capsulotomy Is Challenging in Patients With Phacomorphic Glaucoma.
To the Editor: Acute phacomorphic glaucoma occurs secondarily to an increased anteroposterior lens thickness that narrows the iridocorneal angle. Optic neuropathy is preventable with early recognition and treatment of the disease, but a sudden rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) can lead to irreversible visual loss in the affected eye.1-3 We evaluated the efficacy of femtosecond laser–assisted c...

Cataract is the most common cause of blindness in the world. An attack of phacolytic and phacomorphic glaucoma as a result of neglected cataract constitutes a medical emergency that must be addressed immediately. Ocular emergencies such as these is challenging for the surgeon with guarded or poor prognosis. We describe the presentation, management and prognosis of three cases of phacomorphic an...
