A-Scan Parameters and the Risk of Phacomorphic Glaucoma in the Kazakh Population.
Medicina (Kaunas)
October 2022
Department of Ophthalmology, S.D. Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University, Tolebe 94, Almaty 050000, Kazakhstan.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for phacomorphic glaucoma (PG) by comparing measurements of biometric parameters in eyes affected by PG and those with mature cataracts.
- Researchers analyzed 71 PG-affected eyes, 311 control eyes, and 71 fellow eyes using A-scan ultrasound biometry to measure axial lengths, anterior chamber depths, and lens thicknesses.
- Findings revealed that PG eyes had smaller axial lengths and anterior chamber depths, and larger lens thicknesses, with specific thresholds indicating higher risks for PG linked to shallow anterior chamber depth and thicker lens.

Department of Medicine, Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- - Continuous circular capsulorhexis (CCC) was first developed in the 1980s by Thomas Neuhann, Kimiya Shimizu, and Howard Gimbel, with significant mention in their collaborative paper.
- - The technique involves creating a stable, viscoelastic-filled anterior chamber using a tunnel method that prevents leaking and maintains pressure, making it suitable for beginners.
- - CCC is particularly beneficial for challenging cataract surgeries, including cases with shallow anterior chambers, small pupils, and conditions like pseudoexfoliation and phacomorphic glaucoma.

Department of Ocular Trauma and Emergency, Translational Ophthalmology Research Centre, Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify the best formula for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power in patients with phacomorphic glaucoma undergoing cataract surgery.
- - Twenty-three patients were assessed after using five different formulas, and results showed significant differences in prediction errors, with the Holladay I formula performing the best.
- - Despite differences in prediction errors among the formulas, overall mean absolute errors were statistically insignificant, suggesting that older formulas could still yield satisfactory results in extreme cases like PG.
Survival analysis of phacomorphic glaucoma at a tertiary hospital in North India.
Taiwan J Ophthalmol
April 2021
Department of Clinical and Public Health Research, CL Gupta Eye Institute, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for phacomorphic glaucoma between January 2015 and February 2018 in a developing country, with a follow-up averaging 14.5 months.
- - Preoperative IOP averaged 38.3 mmHg, and while 56.25% of patients achieved a corrected distance visual acuity of 20/30 or better after surgery, severe anterior chamber inflammation was the most common complication.
- - Findings indicated that a shorter duration of symptoms correlated with better visual outcomes, emphasizing that it's the duration of elevated IOP, rather than the IOP level itself, that influences visual loss in glaucoma patients.
Article Synopsis
- Cataracts are a leading cause of preventable blindness, and early identification is crucial to prevent complications like lens-induced glaucoma (LIG), which can damage the optic nerve.
- A study from Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah in Malaysia analyzed data from 2011 to 2017, finding 81 cases of LIG out of 7,468 cataract surgeries, with an increasing trend in cases over the years.
- The majority of LIG patients were elderly women aged 70-79, and the study suggests that more outreach and educational programs are needed to raise awareness and facilitate treatment for cataracts in the community.

Kresge Eye Institute, Wayne State University, Detroit, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Aim Phacomorphic glaucoma (PG) is a rare condition that necessitates urgent cataract surgery, and this study investigates the differences between predicted and actual refractive errors post-surgery.
- The analysis included 20 patients with PG who underwent cataract surgery, with significant improvements in best-corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure observed one month after the procedure.
- Results indicated that patients ended up with slightly more myopic refractive error than predicted, highlighting clinical variability in outcomes, although this finding was not statistically significant.

- Out of these, 6.4% had some form of narrow angle condition, with most being at low risk for serious issues, such as nonoccludable narrow angles and narrow Van Herrick but open angles.
- Among narrow angle patients, 8.8% were identified as having primary angle closure issues, and 11.1% had phacomorphic pathology, highlighting the varied risk levels in this population.
Outcomes and Reasons for Late Presentation of Lens Induced Glaucoma: A Prospective Study.
Ophthalmol Glaucoma
October 2021
Department of Glaucoma, Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry, India. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to understand why patients present late with lens-induced glaucoma (LIG) and the resulting clinical outcomes after cataract surgery.
- A total of 165 LIG patients were observed, with significant findings showing that nonfinancial reasons, like having good vision in the other eye and not having someone to accompany them, contributed to delays in treatment.
- Post-surgery, many patients saw improvements in vision, but those who waited longer than 15 days before treatment had poorer outcomes, with only a small number needing additional glaucoma care.

Ophthalmology, American University of Beirut Faculty of Medicine, Beirut, Lebanon
Article Synopsis
- - A 75-year-old woman underwent phacoemulsification surgery for phacomorphic angle closure but experienced complications including a tight corneal wound and a burn at the end of the procedure.
- - To address the issue, Tenon tissue was taken from the inferior conjunctiva, placed over the wound, and secured with nylon sutures.
- - After ten days, the healing was confirmed with optical coherence tomography, sutures were removed, and her vision improved to 20/25 without astigmatism.
Article Synopsis
- Lens induced glaucoma (LIG) is a significant cause of secondary glaucoma linked to untreated cataracts, particularly found in the developing world.
- A study was conducted on 53 patients with LIG to analyze demographics, symptoms, and surgical outcomes over six months, primarily affecting older women with a mean age of 61.5 years.
- The main symptoms included reduced vision, eye pain, and redness, with all patients undergoing cataract surgery resulting in a significant drop in intraocular pressure and improvement in vision, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention for better outcomes.
Evaluation of biometric parameters in phacomorphic glaucoma and mature cataracts.
Eur J Ophthalmol
May 2021
University of Health Sciences, Ulucanlar Eye Education and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare eye measurements in patients with phacomorphic glaucoma and mature cataract to understand the factors leading to glaucoma.
- A total of 342 patients were analyzed, focusing on central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, and axial length across four groups: phacomorphic glaucoma, mature cataract, and their respective contralaterals.
- Results revealed that older age and shallower anterior chamber depths are linked to a higher risk of phacomorphic glaucoma, but the presence of pseudoexfoliation material did not appear to be a contributing factor.
