“…Glaucoma patients refractory to treatment [8][9][10][11][12] were excluded from the present data analy sis. The lack of a control group in our protocol makes con clusions about operative procedures of cataract surgery or glaucoma surgery alone or in combination difficult.…”

Reduction of Intraocular Pressure after Phacoemulsification and Aspiration with Intraocular Lens Implantation

et al. 1994

We prospectively evaluated the pre- and postoperative intraocular pressures (IOP) of 1,118 cataract patients. All surgical procedures were performed by the same skilled surgeon using the same method of phacoemulsification and aspiration with intraocular lens implantation. The mean ± SE preoperative IOP was 13.29 ± 0.12 mm Hg, while the mean IOP values were 10.87 + 0.12, 9.94 ± 0.09, and 10.43 + 0.14 mm Hg 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively, after surgery. When the preoperative IOP was in the low 20 s, a decrease of approximately 40% was achieved. The present study shows that the IOP decreased postoperatively to a greater extent than previously considered, and the rate of decrease was dependent on the initial measurement.

“…P revious studies [1][2][3][4][5][6] demonstrate that intracapsular and extracapsular cataract extraction improve glaucoma control by reducing intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of required glaucoma medications, or both. Although the relationship between cause and effect has often been observed, the nature by which cataract surgery influences IOP is not fully understood.…”

“…Callahan (1952) has also had unsatisfactory experiences: after operation with infero lateral incision, 9 of 14 eyes required medication or operative treatment, while before the operation 5 of 15 had used medication. Randolph, Maumenee & Iliff (1971) sum up their experience with 46 eyes thus: Cateract extraction after a filtering procedure has little if any influence on the course of glaucoma, the encouragingly low or normal pressure shortly after the operation rising in the course of 6-8 months to 30 mm or more. The operational method is not described.…”

Influence of Cataract Operation on the Pressure in Glaucoma Eyes Operated With Iridencleisis

Eighty-nine glaucomatous eyes which had been operated with Holth's iridencleisis later underwent cataract extraction performed by the superior route to retain the filtering area. Of these eyes, 62 were, prior to the cataract extraction, normo-or hypotensive without medication and none of these eyes became hypertensive postoperatively nor was antiglaucomatous treatment needed. The remaining 27 eyes were receiving antiglaucomatous medication prior to the cataract extraction. After the cataract extraction, ocular tension increased by more than 5 mmHg in 2 eyes, remained at approximately the same level in 4 eyes, and decreased to normal values without medication in 21 eyes. I n the whole material only 6 eyes needed antiglaucomatous medication after cataract extraction. Cataract operation in glaucomatous eyes previously operated by Holth's iridencleisis had a tendency to normalize the ocular tension in both hypertensive and hypotensive eyes.
