AIM: To explore the operations for complicated cataract after anti-glaucoma surgery, and to evaluate the operative and clinical effects. METHODS: Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation under topical anaesthesia were run in 21 case (23 eyes) with complicated cataract after anti-glaucoma surgery. RESULTS: During the follow-up, the corrected vision was better than 0.5 in 7 eyes (26%) 0.1-0.4 in 11 eyes (48%), up to 0.8 in 3 eyes (13%), decreased to counting fingers/10cm in 2 eyes and light perception(-) in 1 eye. The postoperative IOP was of no statistical difference from the preoperative IOP(t =10125, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation under topical anaesthesia is an effective method to treat complicated cataract after anti-glaucoma surgery. LA: Chinese
