Cataract extraction and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens inplantation in patients after glaucoma surgery

Twenty nine patients(thirty six eyes)were performed by the phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation after glaucoma surgery.After a mean follow-up period of 7 3 months(range 2 to 30 months),the corrected visual acuity in 97 22% of the patients reached to 0 1 or better.All eyes have normal IOP.Postoperative complication included hyphema(2 78%)and posterior capsule opacification(8 33%).The results suggest that careful selection of cadidates,the operators ,technology and incision for IOL implantation be cracial for successful cataract surgery in glaucoma patients.
