“…Some studies document an increase in IOP following cataract surgery with or without glaucoma [1,[3][4][5]. The rate of change may depend on the method and the size of the incision of cataract surgery [1,3,4] and the skill with which the surgery is exe cuted [6].…”

We evaluated the pre- and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) levels of 498 patients, to determine whether IOPs are affected over a 10-year period. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon using phacoemulsification and aspiration (PEA) with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation. The mean preoperative IOP was 12.2 ± 4.0 mm Hg, and the mean postoperative IOPs were not affected for 10 years. However, when the preoperative IOP was over 20 mm Hg, a significant decrease was achieved without glaucoma surgery When the preoperative IOP was under 10 mm Hg, the IOP significantly increased. PEA with implantation of a PCIOL provides an excellent chance for improved intraocular tension control, providing that the surgery is properly performed.

“…Many previous studies including ours 22 showed that CS lowers the IOP for several years; [23][24][25] this is consistent with the results obtained in this study. However, IOP in no eyes that underwent surgery was low enough to cause hypotension maculopathy, and was thus considered to be unrelated to the progression of ERM.…”

Purpose To examine whether or not phacoemulsification surgery accelerates the progression of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) by measuring the degree of ERM. Methods Forty-three consecutive eyes with idiopathic ERM that underwent phacoemulsification surgery were recruited; 41 consecutive eyes with ERM that did not undergo surgery served as controls. Foveal thickness and macular volume were measured using optical coherence tomography at 3 days after surgery (baseline), and at 3, 6, and 12 months after baseline. Visual acuity and the incidence of eyes that underwent ERM peeling surgery were also examined. Results There were no significant differences in the foveal thickness and macular volume between the two groups at baseline. The foveal thickness gradually increased by 7.0% in the cataract surgery (CS) group by 5.3% in the no surgery group at 12 months after surgery. When comparing the groups, no significant differences were found in the foveal thickness, macular volume, or their percentage increases from baseline throughout the 12-month followup period. Only one eye in the CS group underwent ERM peeling surgery within the 12 months. Mean visual acuity did not worsen significantly in either group during follow-up. Conclusion Progression of idiopathic ERM is not accelerated by phacoemulsification surgery.

“…The exact pathomechanisms are still unclear; however, inflammatory conditions are discussed. Since the incidence of CME is reported to be higher also in patients receiving chronic topical glaucoma medication [41], in diabetic patients [42] and after any operative procedures including laser capsulotomy [43], the pathophysiological mechanism is believed to be anterior segment inflammation with release of endogenous inflammatory mediators including prostaglandins [44]. Findings of increased levels of prostaglandins after cataract surgery [45] support this theory.…”

This article gives an overview of the vitreal anatomy and its changes in ageing, which have a significant impact on the two main retinal complications after damage of the vitreolenticular barrier, namely retinal detachment and cystoid macular edema. The possible reasons and pathomechanisms for this entity of retinal diseases in the context of anterior segment interaction are highlighted, and a summary of references is provided showing the epidemiology and consequences of such interventions.
