Temporal Corneal Phacoemulsification in Patients With Filtered Glaucoma

Effect of Phacoemulsification on Intraocular Pressure Control in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Previously Treated by Trabeculectomy: A Case-Control Study

“…This figure matches one other study (20%) [15]. But most authors report more frequent use of medications [10,14]; (22%) [29], (34.7%) [17], (49.4%) [2], (41%) [4]. In our study, the number of glaucoma medications did not change much in the TP group during the course of the study, whereas in the T group 9% required additional pressure-lowering medications.…”

Phacoemulsification in filtered chronic angle closure glaucoma eyes

“…Similar results were seen in the study of Park et al. ; 8 however, their study included open angle glaucoma cases only. The early rise of IOP as seen in one eye in our study we attributed to retained viscoelastic material and an intense fibrinoid reaction.…”

“…Casson et al[ 36 ] also performed phacoemulsification with an interval of at least 3 months from trabeculectomy in glaucoma patients and found no statistical difference between pre-and postoperative IOP taken 2 years after the surgery. Some other studies have also confirmed the findings by Caprioli et al and Casson et al[ 37 43 46 ] On the other hand, other studies have reported that when phacoemulsification is performed at a time interval from trabeculectomy, a statistically significant rise in IOP should be expected in glaucoma patients. [ 38 39 42 44 47 48 49 ] Furthermore, certain factors such as the time interval between trabeculectomy and cataract surgery[ 38 41 ] and IOP level before cataract surgery[ 40 44 49 ] seem to affect the degree of IOP rise after cataract surgery in trabeculetomized eyes.…”
