| Popis: | In a series of 1,079 patients, average age 76.3 years, 48 eyes required an iridoplasty for chronic miosis and, of these, visual acuity was 6/12 (20/40) or better postoperatively in 89.6% (43). In those patients with glaucoma, the control of intraocular pressure was the same or better than post-operative levels in 83.3% (15) of patients. Lens implantation was not contraindicated in the miotic patient if adequate iris surgery was performed before both cataract extraction and implant insertion. When there was concomitant glaucoma, lens implantation was likewise not contraindicated if the glaucoma was well controlled. |
