Extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber implantation in primary ocular hypertension: preliminary report

B Pignalosa et al. Doc Ophthalmol. 1989 Jan.

Abstract

Extracapsular extraction of cataract followed by I.O.L., implantation in P.C. was performed in 10 patients affected by Primary Ocular Hypertension and cataract. The aim of this study was to evaluate if implantation could support a modification of I.O.P. and an evolution from hypertension to glaucoma. The postsurgical stability of I.O.P., the absence of alterations in visual field and optic disc during the 6 months after surgery demonstrate that ocular hypertension is not contraindicative to I.O.L. implantation in P.C.
