The majority of the eyes affected had hypermature cataract (44%) followed by mature cataract (34%). Phacomorphic glaucoma caused by intumescent lens has been the major cause contributing to 54% of cases. 27 cases (54%) showed shallow anterior chamber. Conclusion: The incidence of lens induced glaucoma was more among females (68%) than males (32%).
