Popis: | Glaucoma is the most important cause of permanent visual loss in spherophakia. Determining an appropriate procedure for the management of glaucoma in spherophakia is difficult. Lens removal plus intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, offering a feasible approach for thoroughly relieving the crowding anterior chamber, is effective in both controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) and correcting lenticular myopia. |
