Abstract:
Cataract operation was carried out in 7 glaucomatous eyes with prolonged ocular hypotony after trageculectomy with intraoperative mitomycin C. In all cases, The postoperative intraocular pressure(IOP) rose and the postopeative average IOP was 6.0+/-2.0mmHg higher than their preoperative average IOP. The preexisting bleb was reduced in size eyes that underwent phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens(PC-IOL) implantation. But. It was not changed in extracapsular cataract extraction and IOL implantation. In our study, cataract operation in eyes that had lens opacity with prolonged hypotony induced IOP rise and was beneficial to hypotony.
