Ma XInternational Journal of Ophthalmology 2007; 7: 1151-1152
AIM: To investigate the clinical effects patients who had complications of cataracts and high intraocular pressure after anti-glaucoma surgery treated with ultrasound emulsification and implantation of intraocular lens. METHODS: Ultrasound emulsification and implantation of intraocular lens were performed in 31 cataract patients (33 eyes) who had high intraocular pressure after anti-glaucoma surgery. After the operation, the vision, the intraocular pressure and eyeground were observed and examined. RESULTS: The postoperative intraocular pressure in 24 eyes (73%) was lower than 21 mmHg. This had significant diversity (t = 10.2, P < 0.001); visions of all 33 eyes were improved to different extent. There was significant difference statistically. CONCLUSION: The high intraocular pressure after anti-glaucoma surgery in the cataract patients can be controlled effectively by ultrasound emulsification and implantation of intraocular lens, and the operation can improve the vision of paients.
