PURPOSE To determine the incidence of glaucoma following cataract surgery in children and to identify surgically modifiable risk factors that may influence the development of glaucoma in these eyes. METHODS All lensectomies performed in patients 18 years old or younger over a 7-year period (1995 through 2001) were identified by conducting a database search. A retrospective chart review was pe...

BACKGROUND Cataract is one of the most common eye diseases that can further cause blindness. Discovering susceptibility factors contributing to cataract development is helpful in identifying predisposed patients and improving treatment efficacy. Although proteomics technology has been used in study of protein markers related to eye diseases, few were on studies of cataract development. METHOD...

BACKGROUND Cataract and glaucoma are both common comorbidities among older patients. Combining glaucoma surgery with minimal invasive phacoemulsification (phaco) is a considerable option to treat both conditions at the same time, although the combination with filtration surgery can produce a strong inflammatory response. Combined non-penetrating procedures like canaloplasty have shown to reduce...

background: complaining of tearing was found in some of our patients after phacoemulsification surgery for senile cataract. secondary acquired lacrimal drainage obstruction has been proposed to happen due to different causes. this study was performed at feiz hospital in isfahan, iran from september to december of 2004 to evaluate the effects of phacoemulsification surgery on tear drainage in ey...

The treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) at an early stage prevents a proportion of PACG-related blindness. Several techniques are available with different degrees of success. Trabeculectomy augmented by antifibrotic agents represents the mainstay of glaucoma surgery, but safety and efficacy are suboptimal; phacotrabeculectomy is associated with more postoperative complications; a...

Both cataract and glaucoma are significant public health problems. Combined cataract operation and trabeculectomy is required for visual rehabilitation and control of intraocular pressure (IOP) thereby preventing progressive optic nerve damage, in patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma. The aim of this study was to find out the visual rehabilitation and IOP control following combined ma...
