Intraocular pressure after phacoemulsification with posterior chamber lens implantation in open-angle glaucoma.

Background: To evaluate changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after phacoemulsification (Phaco) with posterior chamber lens (PC IOL) implantation in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) at least 2 years after surgery.

Patients And Methods: 19 eyes of 13 POAG patients who underwent uneventful clear cornea Phaco with PC IOL implantation and with follow-up of at least 2 years after surgery were included in this retrospective study. None of them had previous intraocular surgery or argon laser trabeculoplasty.
