Abstract :

 Background – Lens induced glaucoma is a common condition seen in patients with senile cataracts

The aim of this study is to study the incidence of lens induced glaucoma and also clinical presentation of lens induced glaucoma

 

Method: The study was prospective, cross sectional, hospital based study over a period of one and a half year, in a rural based tertiary care hospital

 

Results– 115 cases presented with lens induced glaucoma (phacomorphic and phacolytic).The most common type is phacomorphic glaucoma which accounted for 68.7%. Mean age was 66.0±9.19, with female preponderance (62.61%). The main presenting complaints were eye pain, redness and diminution of vision (100%).All 36 cases of phacolytic glaucoma presented with hypermature cataract. The mean intraocular pressure lens induced glaucoma eyes was 41.35± 9.75 and 45.85±7.09 in phacomorphic glaucoma and phacolytic glaucoma respectively.  

 

Conclusion– Lens induced glaucoma is preventable and curable disease. The main clinical presentation of lens induced glaucoma is eye pain, redness and diminution of vision, which are the warning signs in a patient with cataract. Early detection is important for early management of the condition.
