Abstract :

 Aim: A prospective clinical study – To evaluate the clinical outcome of “Small incision cataract surgery” in “Lens induced glaucoma” –  conducted at Govt. Regional Eye Hospital, Visakhapatnam.

Materials and Methods: 68 cases of Lens induced glaucoma     (52  eyes of Phacomorphic and  16 eyes of Phacolytic glaucoma) included in this study. All cases under went SICS with PC IOL implantation.

Results: Visual improvement  Phacomorphic glaucoma: out of  52  eyes, 32 eyes improved  good vision 6/6 to 6/18, 12 eyes improved fair vision  6/24 to 6/60, and jn 8 eyes poor visual improvement   ie.less than 6/60 of BCVA visual acuity. In phacolytic glaucoma,  out of  16 eyes 12 eyes improved  good vision 6/6  – 6/18, 2 eyes fair vision with 6/24 –6/60 and 2 eyes poor visual improvement,   less than 6/60 . Intra Ocular Pressure control: Out of 52  eyes of Phacomorphic glaucoma  there is good IOP control jn 71% eyes,  moderate control in  17% eyes, poor control in 11% eyes .   Out of 16 Phacolytic glaucoma 68%  eyes has good control of IOP,  25%  eyes has moderate control  and  in one eye has poor control of IOPeven after 6 months of the surgery.

Conclusion: Small incision  cataract surgery is effective in both control of IOP and visual outcome in Lens Induced Glacuoama.
