Phacomorphic Glaucoma: Evolving Management Strategies
Phacomorphic glaucoma is defined as secondary angle-closure glaucoma due to an increase in lens thickness and is characterized by a sudden rise in IOP which can compromise the function of the optic nerve and may lead to irreversible visual loss if not treated in time. This increase in lens thickness can be due to an advanced cataract, a rapidly intumescent lens, or a traumatic cataract, eventua...
متن کاملCHALLENGING CASES Phacomorphic Glaucoma
CA SE PRE SENTATION A 72-year-old white woman was referred to us 9 days after she experienced an episode of acute angle-closure glaucoma in her right eye.

متن کاملIntraocular Lens Implantation in Phacomorphic Glaucoma
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 rec...
متن کاملAn Evidence-Based Approach to Phacomorphic Glaucoma
Cataract maturation is associated with anteroposterior lens diameter increase which, in some patients, particularly those with anatomically narrow anterior chambers, can lead to pupillary block and peripheral iridotrabecular apposition [1,2]. In other patients with previously deep anterior chambers and wide open angles, the cataract may become so swollen that it physically pushes the iris anter...
