| Popis: | Purpose To evaluate long-term IOP control after sutureless clear corneal phacoemulsification in eyes with preoperatively controlled glaucoma. Setting Institutional study. Methods The charts of 345 patients who had uneventful sutureless clear corneal phacoemulsification with acrylic foldable lens (IOL) implantation were retrospectively reviewed. Included were 58 patients with medically controlled open-angle glaucoma and 287 normal controls. Follow-up was 1 to 2 years. Outcome measures were postoperative IOP and number of glaucoma medications. Results Postoperatively, there was an insignificant decrease in IOP in the glaucoma group; the mean decrease was 1.5 mm Hg ± 4.4 (SD) at 12 months and 1.9 ± 4.9 mm Hg at 24 months. The mean number of medications decreased significantly at 12 months (0.53 ± 0.86) and at 24 months (0.38 ± 0.9) (P = .04). The control group also had a significant decrease in IOP, with a mean decrease of 0.72 ± 3.7 mm Hg at 12 months (P = .01) and 1.33 ± 3.2 mm Hg at 24 months (P |
