Postoperative glaucoma following infantile cataract surgery: an individual patient data meta-analysis.

Importance: Infantile cataract surgery bears a significant risk for postoperative glaucoma, and no consensus exists on factors that may reduce this risk.

Objective: To assess the effect of primary intraocular lens implantation and timing of surgery on the incidence of postoperative glaucoma.

Data Sources: We searched multiple databases to July 14, 2013, to identify studies with eligible patients, including PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Central, Google Scholar, Intute, and Tripdata.

The natural history of glaucoma and ocular hypertension after pediatric cataract surgery.

Introduction: We sought to define the prevalence and natural history of ocular hypertension and glaucoma for at least a 10-year period after pediatric cataract surgery.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of patients who received pediatric cataract surgery. Inclusion criteria included 2 directed ophthalmologic examinations performed at a minimum of 5 and 10 years after surgery.
