Glaucoma Screening In Pseudophakia
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
India is a developing country with one of the highest cataract surgery rate now. As a result many patients are rendered pseudophakic. Glaucoma in these pseudophakic eyes is a major cause of loss of visual function. The hospital based screening for glaucoma in patients attending ophthalmology clinic is an important measure to diagnose the glaucoma early in its course before significant damage has occurred to the visual function. While a few population based studies in India have estimated the incidence of glaucoma in pseudophakia or Aphakia as a byproduct of their studies, studies on the incidence of glaucoma in patients attending ophthalmology clinic for the cataract surgery of second eye are very few. The opportunity of detecting glaucoma in pseudophakic eyes early and preventing further loss of visual function due to glaucoma is stressed in our study.
