Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Delayed presentation of cataract patients leads to increased vulnerability to develop Lens induced glaucoma (LIG), which remains one of the most important cause of irreversible loss of vision. Objective- To study the clinical profile of patients with lens induced glaucoma. Material and Method- patients aged >50 years attending out-patient department of ophthalmology with decreased vision<6/60 due to cataract were assessed for delay in seeking cataract surgery. Baseline demographic and clinical profile of these patients was recorded. Complete ophthalmic examination with pre and post operative visual acuity was done. Results: Females account for 85% of cases, with phacomorphic glaucoma as predominant presentation. Sixty percent of patients presented after 10 days of symptoms. Pain was improved after surgery, however there was no satisfactory improvement in visual acuity after cataract surgery in majority. Only 12.5% of patients were having vision > 6/18.
