In cases with relative contraindications, surgery should be performed only after weighing up the individual risks and under controlled disease conditions; however, the "evidence" for many of these contraindications is based only on case reports or series, expert opinions or known complications in non-laser-assisted eye surgery. Randomized clinical trials are therefore required.

Int Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Eye and ENT Hospital, Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University, 83 Fenyang Road, Shanghai, 200031, China.
Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics of glaucoma-related adverse events (GRAE) after pediatric cataract surgery. More importantly, to identify the factors associated with the time of GRAE onset and the preferred anti-glaucomatous surgical procedure for this disease.
Methods: Hospitalized medical records of patients who developed GRAE, which include glaucoma and glaucoma suspect, after pediatric cataract surgery (surgical age ≤ 14 years) between 1994 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.
