“…That study, however, also included cases with other structural anterior segment abnormality and had an average follow-up of only 2.85 years AE 1.9 years-a short follow-up, considering that most aphakic glaucoma is diagnosed 4-6 years after surgery. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] There are at least 3 population-based studies in the literature regarding age of cataract surgery and later risk for aphakic glaucoma-from Sweden (Magnusson et al), 5 the United Kingdom (Chak et al), 12 and Denmark (Haargaard et al). 18 Magnusson and colleagues 5 found the greatest risk in the first 10 days of life but did not exclude the potentially confounding risk factor of persistent fetal vasculature (or microcornea) in their series.…”
