摘要: Abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP), either transient or permanent, may follow extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with phacoemulsification (PE) and posterior chamber lens (PC-IOL) implantation. We retrospectively studied IOP measurements at different intervals post ECCE PE in 242 eyes of 211 patients: 105 males, 106 females, 198 Caucasians 13 blacks. Elevated (greater than 23 mm Hg) was observed 20 (8.2%). Only two patients (0.8%) had persistent 3 months) elevation needed antiglaucoma therapy. Six more (2.5%), however, developed glaucoma after 1 year. Hence, the incidence secondary pseudophakic conclusion this study 3.3%. No patient required laser other mechanical surgery for control. PC-IOL does not appear to adversely affect IOP. Patients, must be followed closely, as some develop months surgery.
