Late-onset glaucoma following congenital cataract surgery: Occurrence, visual acuity and risk factors: A 37-year longitudinal follow-up.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of late-onset glaucoma after surgery for congenital cataract in a cohort with long-term follow-up and to evaluate visual development following the diagnosis of postoperative glaucoma in comparison with no glaucoma development.

Methods: All children born between 1980 and 1997 in the western counties of Sweden who had undergone congenital cataract surgery were included (patients n = 77, eyes n = 122). Cataract was considered congenital if there was no proof of clear lens at birth.

Evaluation of selective laser trabeculoplasty as an intraocular pressure lowering option.

Purpose: Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is one of the many treatment options for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of SLT.

Methods: Data were collected from medical records of 289 patients who underwent SLT treatment (180° of trabecular meshwork) during 2014 and 2015 at the Department of Ophthalmology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Mölndal, Sweden.
