BACKGROUNDPosterior Capsular Opacification is the most frequent complication of cataract surgery. There are few studies that determine the changes in the lens surfaces with the posterior capsular changes. The objectives of the present study were to report intraocular lens surface changes and posterior capsular changes after extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intra-ocular lens (ECCE-PCIOL) implantation surgeries, and to determine the factors influencing the anterior surface changes.

BACKGROUNDGlaucoma is a multi-factorial disease and many conditions are considered as risk factors. There is variability in the prevalence rates from one study to the other depending on the population sampled.The objective of the study was to detect the prevalence of POAG in patients attending the ophthalmic out-patient department who are over 40 years. The proportion of risk factors among patients with primary open angle glaucoma, normal tension glaucoma and ocular hypertension was determined.
