Dr. N. Jeyanthi, Dr. P. Bhuvan Kalyan

Abstract :

1) Aims are : To study the clinical profile with respect to age and sex distribution, and various types of lens induced glaucomas. 2) To evaluate the post operative outcome with respect to visual acuity and Intra ocular pressure of lens induced Glaucomas. Methods: 59 cases of different types of LIG’s admitted in Regional Eye Hospital, Kurnool were evaluated and managed. Results: Out of 59 patients 26(44.1%) were males and 33(55.9%) were females. Phacomorphic glaucoma in 37(62.7%) and phacolytic glaucoma in 20(33.9%). All patients underwent surgery or combined surgery. Post operative BCVA at 4 weeks of 6/6 – 6/12 in 33(55.9%) only in 5(8.5%) < 6/60. However there was significant reduction of mean IOP at 4 week follow up was 15.48 mm Hg from the baseline IOP at presentation. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of LIG cases and referral by peripheral health wokers and ophthalmic assistants among rural population and efficient management at higher centre can reduce the incidence and complications.
