چکیده
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 after ccs including age at surgery, gender, laterality of the cataract, iol implantation, congenital ocular anomalies, intra- and postoperative complications, length of follow-up, central corneal thickness (cct) as well as the effect of the age of onset, time to development of glaucoma, and response to treatment were evaluated. results: overall, 161 eyes of 96 patients were included in this study of which 28 eyes developed glaucoma. incidence of glaucoma was 17.4%. mean±sd age at surgery was 9.3±6.9 (range, 1-24) months in glaucomatous and 40.4±41.1 (range, 1 m-13.6 year) months in non-glaucomatous group (p<0.001). all glaucoma patients had the operation under two years of age. in group 1, 9 (60%) and in group 2, 24 (30%) patients were female (p=0.001). in group 1, 17 eyes (60.7%) and in the group 2, 41 eyes (30.8%) were aphakic (p=0.001). mean time to diagnosis of glaucoma was 111.2 days (range 30-1200 days). mean follow-up time was 3.1 years (range, 1-6 years). in 22 (78.6%) eyes glaucoma was diagnosed within six months after surgery. glaucoma was controlled with medications in 23 eyes (82%) and with surgery in five eyes. conclusion: in this study the incidence of glaucoma after ccs was 17.4% over a follow-up period of six years. younger age at the time of lensectomy increases the risk of secondary glaucoma. iol implantation may protect against glaucoma. female gender was affected more than male. iranian journal of ophthalmology 201426(1):11-16 © 2014 by the iranian society of ophthalmology

Retinal detachment after congenital cataract surgery.
Those born with congenital cataracts tend to develop retinal detachments, irrespective of whether or not cataract surgery is undertaken (Malbran and Dodds, i964), although the patient may reach middle age before the retina separates (Shapland, I962). The prospects of curing such detachments are generally regarded as poor (McDonald, I957), and since the literature is devoid of any series giving ...
متن کاملRisk factors for the development of aphakic glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery.
BACKGROUND It is well-known that lensectomy surgery during the first year of life increases one's risk of aphakic glaucoma. However, it is controversial whether there is a specific time period during the first year of life after which performing lensectomy surgery has a lower risk of aphakic glaucoma development. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients ...

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY 23 D uring the past 15 years, several studies have found a modest but sustained reduction in IOP after cataract surgery. A study from my institution is typical. In a retrospective review of 266 consecutive patients without glaucoma who had uncomplicated clear corneal cataract surgery, my colleagues and I recorded a mean IOP reduction of...

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...

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...
