The quality of included trials was evaluated according to the guidelines developed by the cochrane collaboration. And the outcomes estimating efficacy and safety of two different surgical treatments were measured and synthesised by Rev Man 5.0.· RESULTS: Five randomized controlled trials were selected and included in Meta-analysis with a total of468 patients(468 eyes) with both PACG and cataract. We found that Phacotrabe had a greater intraocular pressure(IOP) lowing effect [preoperative IOP: weighted mean difference(WMD)=0.58, 95% confidence intervals(95% CI,-0.53 to 1.69), P =0.31; postoperative IOP: WMD =1.37,95% CI(0.45 to 2.28), P =0.003], a lower number of antiglaucoma medications [risk ratio(RR)=0.05, 95% CI(0.02 to 0.18), P 〈0.00001] needed postoperatively and less serious damage of optic nerve [RR =0.48, 95% CI(0.21 to 1.07), P =0.07], but a higher risk of complications[odds ratio(OR)=0.04, 95% CI(0.01 to 0.16), P 〈0.00001]compared with Phaco. The rest studies indicated that there had no significantly difference between the two surgical methods for postoperative best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA) [WMD =-0.05, 95% CI(-0.14 to 0.05), P =0.32] and loss of visual field [RR=1.06, 95% CI(0.61 to1.83), P =0.83].·CONCLUSION: Phaco alone compared with Phacotrabe had a better effect in IOP reduction, whereas the securitydecline. Considering the number of sample size, our results remains to be further studied.展开更多

METHODS: This prospective, comparative, observational study recruited patients into two groups. Group 1 was the control group including normal subjects except those with cataracts (cataract group, n=67 eyes of 67 patients), and group 2 was NTG group including patients who were diagnosed with NTG and cataracts (n=43 eyes of 43 patients), which were treated with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Before surgery, and at postoperative 1 and 6too, anterior chamber angles were evaluated by SS-OCT under dark conditions using three- dimensional angle analysis scan protocol. Angle opening distance (AOD), angle recess area (ARA), and trabecular- iris surface area (TISA) at four quadrants (temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior) were calculated automatically by SS-OGT, after the observer marked scleral spurs. RESULTS: A total of 106 patients (54 males and 52 females) were enrolled in the study. Angle parameters, AOD, ARA, and TISA were increased after surgery in both groups. However, changes of angle parameters were only significant in group 2. In group 2, preoperative lOP was 13.2+2.9 mm Hg, and postoperative lOP at 1 and 6mo were 10.5+3.0 and 10.7+2.8 mm Hg, respectively. In group 1, preoperative lOP was 12.42.8 mm Hg, and postoperative lOP at 1 and 6mo were 11.6+2.5 and 12.0+2.8 mm Hg, respectively. After cataract surgery, angle parameters changed significantly while IOP significantly reduced and was maintained in group 2 (P〈0.001). The changes in angle parameters (&AOD500, ATISAS00 at temporal; &AOD500, S, RA500 at nasal) were linearly correlated with postoperative IOP changes. CONCLUSION: Cataract surgery may have improved antedor chamber angle parameters and decreased lOP in NTG patients.展开更多

Combined cataract surgery and glaucoma with Ex-PRESS~ P-50 model placed under scleral flap was performed.·RESULTS: Out of 40 eyes of 40 patients(55% male and45% female) completed the study during one-year follow-up. The mean of age was 76.6 ±11.02 y. The intraocular pressure(IOP) decreased significantly during the 12-month follow-up from 23.5 mm Hg to 16.8 mm Hg(Wilcoxon signed ranks test, P 〈0.001). A 59.5% of patients did not need any topical treatment, 10.8% of them needed one active principle, 27% needed two active principles, and 2.7% of them needed three active principles for successful IOP control(〈21 mm Hg).·CONCLUSION:Combinedsurgeryofphacoemulsification with Ex PRESS~ P-50 lowers IOP from the preoperative baseline and reduces significantly the number of antiglaucoma active principles for IOP control after the operation.展开更多

Japanese sources were used for patients’ characteristics, clinical data, utility, and costs whenever available. Non-Japanese data were validated by Japanese clinical experts. RESULTS: In the probabilistic base case analysis, iStent inject;with cataract surgery was found to be cost-effective compared with cataract surgery alone over a lifetime horizon when using the ¥5 000 000/quality-adjusted life year(QALY)willingness-to-pay threshold. The incremental cost-utility ratio(ICUR) was estimated to be ¥1 430 647/QALY gained and the incremental cost-utility ratio(ICER) was estimated to be ¥12 845 154/blind eye avoided. iStent inject;with cataract surgery vs cataract surgery alone was found to increase costs(¥1 025 785 vs ¥933 759, respectively) but was more effective in increasing QALYs(12.80 vs 12.74) and avoiding blinded eyes(0.133 vs 0.141). The differences in costs were mainly driven by costs of primary surgery(¥279 903 vs ¥121 349). In the scenario analysis from a societal perspective, which included caregiver burden, iStent inject;with cataract surgery was found to dominate cataract surgery alone.CONCLUSION: The iStent inject;with cataract surgery is a cost-effective strategy over cataract surgery alone from the public payer’s perspective and cost-saving from the societal perspective in patients with mild-to-moderate POAG in Japan.展开更多

The outcome measure was the presence or absence of post-cataract surgery glaucoma, defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥26mmHg, as measured on at least two occasions along with corneal or optic nerve changes.RESULTS: The mean follow-up periods of group 1 and 2 were (60.86 ±30.95) months (12-123 months) and (62.11±31.29) months (14-115 months) respectively. In group 1, 12 eyes of 8 patients (4.8% ) developed glaucoma. None of the patients developed glaucoma after surgery in group 2. The mean age of the patients at the cataract surgery was (2.58±0.90) months (1 month-4 months) and the average period for glaucoma development after surgery was (9.50 ±4.33) months (4-16 months) in group 1. Three of the 12 glaucomatous eyes were controlled with antiglaucomatous medication and 9 eyes underwent trabeculectomy+mitomycinC surgery.Onepatientunderwent a second trabeculectomy+mitomycin C operation for both of his eyes.CONCLUSION:The incidence of glaucoma after pediatric cataract surgery is very low in patients in whom IOL is implanted. The aphakic eyes after pediatric cataract surgery are at an increased risk for glaucoma development particularly if they underwent surgery before 4 months of age.展开更多

METHODS:...AIM: To evaluate efficacy of microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy(MAT) in eyes with secondary glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery and explore its correlation with the different degree of trabeculotomy. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent the said procedure between September 2019 and September 2020. The patients were classified into two groups according to the degree of trabeculotomy(group 1: ≤240-degree;group 2: 240–360-degree). The intraocular pressure(IOP) and antiglaucoma drugs before and after operation was collected during the 12-month follow-up. RESULTS: Totally 27 eyes of 25 patients were included: 11(40.7%) eyes in group 1 and 16(59.3%) eyes in group 2. The mean IOP of all patients was 34.67±9.18 mm Hg preoperatively and 8.74±4.32, 9.95±5.65, 14.39±5.30, 16.02±4.37, 15.82±3.28, and 16.19±3.56 mm Hg 1 d, 1 wk, 1, 3, 6, and 12 mo after surgery, respectively. In all patients, there were significant differences in IOP at each time point(F=65.614, P<0.01). In each group, IOP after surgery was lower than that before surgery(all P<0.01), but there was no difference in the rate of IOP reduction between the two groups(P=0.246). Furthermore, the amount of anti-glaucoma medications reduced to 0.30±0.67(0–2) at 12 mo from 2.63±0.49(2–3) preoperatively(P<0.01), and there was no difference between the two groups(P>0.05). At the end of follow-up, the partial success rate was 81.8% in group 1 vs 93.75% in group 2(P=0.549). Various amount of intraoperative and postoperative hyphema occurred in all eyes, which spontaneously absorbed or cleaned through paracentesis and irrigation. No other serious complications was observed.CONCLUSION: MAT can effectively reduce IOP in patients with secondary glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery with a high success rate and safety. And it can be used as the first choice for the treatment of secondary glaucoma after surgery for congenital cataracts.展开更多

All patients were divided into three groups based on the severity of the VF defect: the mild, moderate, and severe stage. Phacoemulsification was performed for cataract removal combined with IOL implantation. Visual acuity(VA) and VF tests were performed for all enrolled patients, up to 3 mo after surgery. Changes in VF threshold and global VF index in various groups were also recorded before and after surgery. The mean light sensitivity(MS) values and the changes following surgery(DMS) were compared between the three groups. Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study(AGIS) scoring was analyzed on all VF results for analysis of changes in VF before and after surgery.RESULTS: Following surgery, the MS values of the three groups of G&C increased significantly, while the AGIS scores decreased statistically in all groups. The DMS values for the three zones in moderate and severe stage but not mild stage were statistically different between zones. The DMS value was significantly higher in zone I than those in zone II and III(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.05). The DMS was significantly higher in zone I than that in zone III in moderate stage patients(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.01), while the DMS values in the severe stage patients was significantly higher in zone I than those in zone II and III(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The mean VF sensitivity of glaucoma patients increased significantly after cataract removal and IOL implantation. Variations in the severity and distribution of characteristics of VF defects result in differences in postoperative VF improvements after cataract surgery. The magnitude of increase in VF sensitivity is associated with VF defect characteristic in glaucoma.展开更多

An appreciable proportion of glaucoma patients have been found to have hidden psychiatric disorders that often go undetected. Anxiety and depression have been found to be major contributors to these psychological issues. This present study aims to compare the prevalence of anxiety and depression amongst glaucoma and cataract patients and to identify risk factors for anxiety and depression amongst these patients. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> A comparative crossectional study was carried out among 197 Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) patients and 197 controls (non-POAG patients that have no ocular disorder other than cataract) attending Deseret Community Vision Institute, Ijebu Imushin, Ogun state from 1st of April to 31st May 2014. POAG was defined as patients with open anterior chamber angles based on gonioscopy, pale and cupped discs (Cup: Disc ratio ≥ 0.4), and corresponding visual field defects with or without an elevated intraocular pressure. Cataract was defined as patients with opacification of the crystalline lens in either or both eyes. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess anxiety and depression among the participants. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 20 using Chi-square, Independent student T-test and Logistic regression. <strong>Results:</strong> The mean age of glaucoma subjects was 62.24 years and the cataract subjects was 64.2 years. There was a male preponderance with a male: female ratio of 1.5:1. Anxiety as defined by the HADS was seen in 35.5% of glaucoma patients and 21.8% of the cataract patients but there was no statistically significant difference after controlling for sociodermographic and clinical characteristics on logistic regression. The risk factors for anxiety among the glaucoma participants were those younger than 60 (OR 2.9, 95% CI: 1.3 - 6.5 p = 0.009) and those with severe glaucoma (OR 9.5, 95% CI: 1.7 - 54.4 p = 0.011). The risk factors for anxiety among cataract patients were sociodermographic factors. Those employed (OR 6.4. 95% CI: 2.1 - 20.0 p = 0.001) and those separated and divorced (OR 10.3, 95% CI: 1.4 - 78.4 p = 0.002). Visual status was not a risk factor amongst the cataract participants. Depression as defined by HADS was seen in 24.4% of glaucoma participants and 3.6% of cataract participants. Glaucoma participants were four times more likely to be depressed than the cataract participants after controlling for clinical and sociodermographic variables (OR 4.0, 95% CI: 1.5 - 10.8 p = 0.007). The risk factors for depression among the glaucoma participants were those younger than 60 (OR 4.7, 95% CI: 1.7 - 13.5 p = 0.004), those with primary (OR 6.6, 95% CI: 1.5 - 28.4) p = 0.010) and secondary education (OR 8.0, 95% CI: 2.1 - 29.9 p = 0.002) as compared to those with tertiary education, those unemployed (OR 2.0, 95% CI: 1.0 - 7.2 p = 0.042) as compared to those employed. Those blind (OR 10.8. 95% CI: 2.8 - 42.4 p = 0.001) as compared to those without visual impairment and those that had had surgery (OR 3.7, 95% CI: 1.4 - 10.0 p = 0.011). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Anxiety and Depression were found in 35.5% and 24.4% of glaucoma patients as compared to 21.8% and 3.6% of cataract patients respectively. Glaucoma patients were 4 times more likely to be depressed than patients with cataracts. There was no significant difference in anxiety between the two groups but glaucoma patients had a four times higher risk of being depressed as compared to cataract patients. There is a need to address these psychological issues at the community level in order to improve the quality of life of these patients. It is also important to identify those at risk in order to curb this growing trend/concern.展开更多

When a patient has glaucoma, cataracts and irregular astigmatism at the same time, it is often difficult to achieve satisfactory results. Purpose: This study intends to describe a case of a patient with glaucoma, irregular astigmatism, and cataract who was successfully treated. Additionally, it can serve as a useful source of inspiration for the future care of patients like this. Case Presentation: A 24-year-old male with keratoconus in the past. He had undergone a corneal crosslinking operation in the right eye and a penetrating keratoplasty in the left eye due to his long history of keratoconus in both eyes. Right now, the keratoconus in that eye is stable. Unfortunately, he has now been diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma and complicated cataracts in both eyes, and he was admitted to our hospital for surgery. The right eye had significant irregular astigmatism, which was discovered during the preoperative assessment, and the implantation of a Toric intraocular lens was unable to produce good results. Finally, we chose to perform EXPRESS glaucoma drainage device implantation + phacoemulsification + intraocular lense (ZEISS CT ASPHINA 409MP) implantation. The patient had stable postoperative astigmatism with rule thanks to the traction effect of the scleral flap suture. Astigmatism was typically stable six months after surgery, and the corrected visual acuity with glasses had improved to 20/25. Conclusion: This patient suffers from cataracts, keratoconus, glaucoma, and irregular astigmatism. Due to the interconnectedness of these four disorders, simultaneous success is challenging. We realized that surgically induced astigmatism, frequently affects vision early after filtering surgery for glaucoma patients. In the instance of this patient, we tightly sutured the scleral flap and using tractive action, established regular astigmatism. After the patient’s astigmatism stabilized, optometry was given to correct the vision. This technique should result in much better visual acuity. Finally, it came to pass.展开更多

The primary efficacy estimate was identified by weighted mean difference of the percentage of intraocular pressure reduction(IOPR%) from baseline to end-point, the percentage of number of glaucoma medications reduction from pre-to post-operation, and the secondary efficacy evaluations were performed by odds ratio(OR) and 95% confidence interval(CI) for complete and qualified success rate. Besides, ORs were applied to assess the tolerability of adverse incidents. Meta-analyses of fixed or random effect models were performed using Rev Man software 5.2 to gather the consequences. Heterogeneity was evaluated by Chi^2 test and the I^2 measure.RESULTS: Ten studies enrolling 3108 patients were included. The combined consequences indicated that both glaucoma and combined cataract and glaucoma surgery significantly decreased IOP. For deep sclerectomy vs deep sclerectomy plus phacoemulsification and canaloplasty vs phaco-canaloplasty, the differences in IOPR% were not all statistically significant while trabeculotomy was detected to gain a quantitatively greater IOPR% compared with trabeculotomy plus phacoemulsification. Furthermore, there was no statistical significance in the complete and qualified success rate, and the rates of adverse incidents for trabeculotomy vs trabeculotomy plus phacoemulsification.CONCLUSION: Compared with trabeculotomy plus phacoemulsification, trabeculectomy alone is more effective in lowering IOP and the number of glaucoma medications, while the two surgeries can not demonstrate statistical differences in the complete success rate, qualified success rate, or incidence of adverse incidents.展开更多

文摘●AIM:To compare efficacy of coaxial microincisions(1.8 mm,2.2 mm)and small incisions(3.0 mm)on phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy for primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)with cataract.●METHODS:Ninety-six patients(96 eyes)with PACG and cataract were recruited and randomly divided into three groups between January 2015 and June 2017.Group A(3.0 mm incision),B(2.2 mm incision),and C(1.8 mm incision)comprised 30,34 and 32 eyes respectively.All cases were treated with clear corneal incision phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy.Data including best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),corneal astigmatism,corneal endothelial cell counts(CECC),intraocular pressure(IOP),and complications were collected before the operation,and at postoperative 1 d,1 and 3 mo.●RESULTS:All the patients were successfully treated with surgery.The BCVA of groups B and C were significantly improved as compared to group A at postoperative 1 d,1 and 3 mo(all P<0.05),but there was no difference between groups B and C at each time interval(all P>0.05).The corneal astigmatism of group A was statistically higher than that of group B(P=0.026);corneal astigmatism of group B was statistically higher than that of group C at postoperative 1 d(P=0.006).The corneal astigmatism of group A at postoperative 3 mo was significantly higher than that before operation(P=0.003).At postoperative 1 and 3 mo,corneal astigmatism of groups B and C were significantly lower than that of group A(all P<0.05).The CECC in group B was significantly higher than that of group A(P=0.020),and CECC in group C was significantly higher than that of group B(P=0.034)at postoperative 1 d.At postoperative 1 and 3 mo,CECC of groups B and C were significantly higher than that of group A(all P<0.05).In each group,postoperative mean IOP at each time interval was significantly lower than preoperative IOP(all P<0.05).●CONCLUSION:Coaxial microincision phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy for PACG with cataract has better curative efficacy in reducing postoperative corneal astigmatism and corneal endothelial cell injury than traditional small incision combined surgery,and the 1.8 mm microincision has better curative efficacy than 2.2 mm microincision in the early postoperative period.
文摘AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification(Phaco) against combined phacotrabeculectomy(Phacotrabe) in primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG) with coexisting cataract.·METHODS: By searching electronically the Pub Med,EMBASE, Scientific Citation Index and Cochrane Library published up from inception to January 2014, all randomized controlled trials that matched the predefined criteria were included. The quality of included trials was evaluated according to the guidelines developed by the cochrane collaboration. And the outcomes estimating efficacy and safety of two different surgical treatments were measured and synthesised by Rev Man 5.0.· RESULTS: Five randomized controlled trials were selected and included in Meta-analysis with a total of468 patients(468 eyes) with both PACG and cataract. We found that Phacotrabe had a greater intraocular pressure(IOP) lowing effect [preoperative IOP: weighted mean difference(WMD)=0.58, 95% confidence intervals(95% CI,-0.53 to 1.69), P =0.31; postoperative IOP: WMD =1.37,95% CI(0.45 to 2.28), P =0.003], a lower number of antiglaucoma medications [risk ratio(RR)=0.05, 95% CI(0.02 to 0.18), P 〈0.00001] needed postoperatively and less serious damage of optic nerve [RR =0.48, 95% CI(0.21 to 1.07), P =0.07], but a higher risk of complications[odds ratio(OR)=0.04, 95% CI(0.01 to 0.16), P 〈0.00001]compared with Phaco. The rest studies indicated that there had no significantly difference between the two surgical methods for postoperative best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA) [WMD =-0.05, 95% CI(-0.14 to 0.05), P =0.32] and loss of visual field [RR=1.06, 95% CI(0.61 to1.83), P =0.83].·CONCLUSION: Phaco alone compared with Phacotrabe had a better effect in IOP reduction, whereas the securitydecline. Considering the number of sample size, our results remains to be further studied.
文摘AIM: To investigate the change of anterior chamber angle morphology and intraocular pressure (lOP) reduction after cataract surgery in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). METHODS: This prospective, comparative, observational study recruited patients into two groups. Group 1 was the control group including normal subjects except those with cataracts (cataract group, n=67 eyes of 67 patients), and group 2 was NTG group including patients who were diagnosed with NTG and cataracts (n=43 eyes of 43 patients), which were treated with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Before surgery, and at postoperative 1 and 6too, anterior chamber angles were evaluated by SS-OCT under dark conditions using three- dimensional angle analysis scan protocol. Angle opening distance (AOD), angle recess area (ARA), and trabecular- iris surface area (TISA) at four quadrants (temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior) were calculated automatically by SS-OGT, after the observer marked scleral spurs. RESULTS: A total of 106 patients (54 males and 52 females) were enrolled in the study. Angle parameters, AOD, ARA, and TISA were increased after surgery in both groups. However, changes of angle parameters were only significant in group 2. In group 2, preoperative lOP was 13.2+2.9 mm Hg, and postoperative lOP at 1 and 6mo were 10.5+3.0 and 10.7+2.8 mm Hg, respectively. In group 1, preoperative lOP was 12.42.8 mm Hg, and postoperative lOP at 1 and 6mo were 11.6+2.5 and 12.0+2.8 mm Hg, respectively. After cataract surgery, angle parameters changed significantly while IOP significantly reduced and was maintained in group 2 (P〈0.001). The changes in angle parameters (&AOD500, ATISAS00 at temporal; &AOD500, S, RA500 at nasal) were linearly correlated with postoperative IOP changes. CONCLUSION: Cataract surgery may have improved antedor chamber angle parameters and decreased lOP in NTG patients.
文摘AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of glaucoma drainage device Ex-PRESS~ P-50 for combined cataract surgery and glaucoma.·METHODS: Patients having cataract and open angle glaucoma or patients with open advanced glaucoma which needed two or more antiglaucoma medications were included. Combined cataract surgery and glaucoma with Ex-PRESS~ P-50 model placed under scleral flap was performed.·RESULTS: Out of 40 eyes of 40 patients(55% male and45% female) completed the study during one-year follow-up. The mean of age was 76.6 ±11.02 y. The intraocular pressure(IOP) decreased significantly during the 12-month follow-up from 23.5 mm Hg to 16.8 mm Hg(Wilcoxon signed ranks test, P 〈0.001). A 59.5% of patients did not need any topical treatment, 10.8% of them needed one active principle, 27% needed two active principles, and 2.7% of them needed three active principles for successful IOP control(〈21 mm Hg).·CONCLUSION:Combinedsurgeryofphacoemulsification with Ex PRESS~ P-50 lowers IOP from the preoperative baseline and reduces significantly the number of antiglaucoma active principles for IOP control after the operation.
文摘AIM: To evaluate the cost-utility of iStent inject;with cataract surgery vs cataract surgery alone in patients with mild-to-moderate primary open angle glaucoma(POAG) in the Japanese setting from a public payer’s perspective.METHODS: A Markov model was adapted to estimate the cost-utility of iStent inject;plus cataract surgery vs cataract surgery alone in one eye in patients with mild-tomoderate POAG over lifetime horizon from the perspective of Japanese public payer. Japanese sources were used for patients’ characteristics, clinical data, utility, and costs whenever available. Non-Japanese data were validated by Japanese clinical experts. RESULTS: In the probabilistic base case analysis, iStent inject;with cataract surgery was found to be cost-effective compared with cataract surgery alone over a lifetime horizon when using the ¥5 000 000/quality-adjusted life year(QALY)willingness-to-pay threshold. The incremental cost-utility ratio(ICUR) was estimated to be ¥1 430 647/QALY gained and the incremental cost-utility ratio(ICER) was estimated to be ¥12 845 154/blind eye avoided. iStent inject;with cataract surgery vs cataract surgery alone was found to increase costs(¥1 025 785 vs ¥933 759, respectively) but was more effective in increasing QALYs(12.80 vs 12.74) and avoiding blinded eyes(0.133 vs 0.141). The differences in costs were mainly driven by costs of primary surgery(¥279 903 vs ¥121 349). In the scenario analysis from a societal perspective, which included caregiver burden, iStent inject;with cataract surgery was found to dominate cataract surgery alone.CONCLUSION: The iStent inject;with cataract surgery is a cost-effective strategy over cataract surgery alone from the public payer’s perspective and cost-saving from the societal perspective in patients with mild-to-moderate POAG in Japan.
文摘AIM: To determine the incidence and risk factors of secondary glaucoma after pediatric cataract surgery.METHODS: Two hundred and forty nine eyes of 148 patients underwent cataract surgery without intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (group 1), and 220 eyes of 129 patients underwent cataract surgery with IOL implantation (group 2) retrospectively, were evaluated between 2000 and 2011. The outcome measure was the presence or absence of post-cataract surgery glaucoma, defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥26mmHg, as measured on at least two occasions along with corneal or optic nerve changes.RESULTS: The mean follow-up periods of group 1 and 2 were (60.86 ±30.95) months (12-123 months) and (62.11±31.29) months (14-115 months) respectively. In group 1, 12 eyes of 8 patients (4.8% ) developed glaucoma. None of the patients developed glaucoma after surgery in group 2. The mean age of the patients at the cataract surgery was (2.58±0.90) months (1 month-4 months) and the average period for glaucoma development after surgery was (9.50 ±4.33) months (4-16 months) in group 1. Three of the 12 glaucomatous eyes were controlled with antiglaucomatous medication and 9 eyes underwent trabeculectomy+mitomycinC surgery.Onepatientunderwent a second trabeculectomy+mitomycin C operation for both of his eyes.CONCLUSION:The incidence of glaucoma after pediatric cataract surgery is very low in patients in whom IOL is implanted. The aphakic eyes after pediatric cataract surgery are at an increased risk for glaucoma development particularly if they underwent surgery before 4 months of age.

文摘AIM: To evaluate efficacy of microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy(MAT) in eyes with secondary glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery and explore its correlation with the different degree of trabeculotomy. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent the said procedure between September 2019 and September 2020. The patients were classified into two groups according to the degree of trabeculotomy(group 1: ≤240-degree;group 2: 240–360-degree). The intraocular pressure(IOP) and antiglaucoma drugs before and after operation was collected during the 12-month follow-up. RESULTS: Totally 27 eyes of 25 patients were included: 11(40.7%) eyes in group 1 and 16(59.3%) eyes in group 2. The mean IOP of all patients was 34.67±9.18 mm Hg preoperatively and 8.74±4.32, 9.95±5.65, 14.39±5.30, 16.02±4.37, 15.82±3.28, and 16.19±3.56 mm Hg 1 d, 1 wk, 1, 3, 6, and 12 mo after surgery, respectively. In all patients, there were significant differences in IOP at each time point(F=65.614, P<0.01). In each group, IOP after surgery was lower than that before surgery(all P<0.01), but there was no difference in the rate of IOP reduction between the two groups(P=0.246). Furthermore, the amount of anti-glaucoma medications reduced to 0.30±0.67(0–2) at 12 mo from 2.63±0.49(2–3) preoperatively(P<0.01), and there was no difference between the two groups(P>0.05). At the end of follow-up, the partial success rate was 81.8% in group 1 vs 93.75% in group 2(P=0.549). Various amount of intraoperative and postoperative hyphema occurred in all eyes, which spontaneously absorbed or cleaned through paracentesis and irrigation. No other serious complications was observed.CONCLUSION: MAT can effectively reduce IOP in patients with secondary glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery with a high success rate and safety. And it can be used as the first choice for the treatment of secondary glaucoma after surgery for congenital cataracts.

文摘AIM: To investigate the effects of intraocular lens(IOL) implantation on visual field(VF) in patients with glaucoma and comorbid cataracts(G&C) with different disease severities.METHODS: Totally 56 eyes of 50 patients with primary G&C were included. All patients were divided into three groups based on the severity of the VF defect: the mild, moderate, and severe stage. Phacoemulsification was performed for cataract removal combined with IOL implantation. Visual acuity(VA) and VF tests were performed for all enrolled patients, up to 3 mo after surgery. Changes in VF threshold and global VF index in various groups were also recorded before and after surgery. The mean light sensitivity(MS) values and the changes following surgery(DMS) were compared between the three groups. Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study(AGIS) scoring was analyzed on all VF results for analysis of changes in VF before and after surgery.RESULTS: Following surgery, the MS values of the three groups of G&C increased significantly, while the AGIS scores decreased statistically in all groups. The DMS values for the three zones in moderate and severe stage but not mild stage were statistically different between zones. The DMS value was significantly higher in zone I than those in zone II and III(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.05). The DMS was significantly higher in zone I than that in zone III in moderate stage patients(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.01), while the DMS values in the severe stage patients was significantly higher in zone I than those in zone II and III(zone I>zone II>zone III;P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The mean VF sensitivity of glaucoma patients increased significantly after cataract removal and IOL implantation. Variations in the severity and distribution of characteristics of VF defects result in differences in postoperative VF improvements after cataract surgery. The magnitude of increase in VF sensitivity is associated with VF defect characteristic in glaucoma.

文摘<strong>Background:</strong> Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. An appreciable proportion of glaucoma patients have been found to have hidden psychiatric disorders that often go undetected. Anxiety and depression have been found to be major contributors to these psychological issues. This present study aims to compare the prevalence of anxiety and depression amongst glaucoma and cataract patients and to identify risk factors for anxiety and depression amongst these patients. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> A comparative crossectional study was carried out among 197 Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) patients and 197 controls (non-POAG patients that have no ocular disorder other than cataract) attending Deseret Community Vision Institute, Ijebu Imushin, Ogun state from 1st of April to 31st May 2014. POAG was defined as patients with open anterior chamber angles based on gonioscopy, pale and cupped discs (Cup: Disc ratio ≥ 0.4), and corresponding visual field defects with or without an elevated intraocular pressure. Cataract was defined as patients with opacification of the crystalline lens in either or both eyes. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess anxiety and depression among the participants. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 20 using Chi-square, Independent student T-test and Logistic regression. <strong>Results:</strong> The mean age of glaucoma subjects was 62.24 years and the cataract subjects was 64.2 years. There was a male preponderance with a male: female ratio of 1.5:1. Anxiety as defined by the HADS was seen in 35.5% of glaucoma patients and 21.8% of the cataract patients but there was no statistically significant difference after controlling for sociodermographic and clinical characteristics on logistic regression. The risk factors for anxiety among the glaucoma participants were those younger than 60 (OR 2.9, 95% CI: 1.3 - 6.5 p = 0.009) and those with severe glaucoma (OR 9.5, 95% CI: 1.7 - 54.4 p = 0.011). The risk factors for anxiety among cataract patients were sociodermographic factors. Those employed (OR 6.4. 95% CI: 2.1 - 20.0 p = 0.001) and those separated and divorced (OR 10.3, 95% CI: 1.4 - 78.4 p = 0.002). Visual status was not a risk factor amongst the cataract participants. Depression as defined by HADS was seen in 24.4% of glaucoma participants and 3.6% of cataract participants. Glaucoma participants were four times more likely to be depressed than the cataract participants after controlling for clinical and sociodermographic variables (OR 4.0, 95% CI: 1.5 - 10.8 p = 0.007). The risk factors for depression among the glaucoma participants were those younger than 60 (OR 4.7, 95% CI: 1.7 - 13.5 p = 0.004), those with primary (OR 6.6, 95% CI: 1.5 - 28.4) p = 0.010) and secondary education (OR 8.0, 95% CI: 2.1 - 29.9 p = 0.002) as compared to those with tertiary education, those unemployed (OR 2.0, 95% CI: 1.0 - 7.2 p = 0.042) as compared to those employed. Those blind (OR 10.8. 95% CI: 2.8 - 42.4 p = 0.001) as compared to those without visual impairment and those that had had surgery (OR 3.7, 95% CI: 1.4 - 10.0 p = 0.011). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Anxiety and Depression were found in 35.5% and 24.4% of glaucoma patients as compared to 21.8% and 3.6% of cataract patients respectively. Glaucoma patients were 4 times more likely to be depressed than patients with cataracts. There was no significant difference in anxiety between the two groups but glaucoma patients had a four times higher risk of being depressed as compared to cataract patients. There is a need to address these psychological issues at the community level in order to improve the quality of life of these patients. It is also important to identify those at risk in order to curb this growing trend/concern.
文摘Significance: So far, many scholars have studied the astigmatism caused by glaucoma surgery, but they cannot provide enough useful help for the clinic. When a patient has glaucoma, cataracts and irregular astigmatism at the same time, it is often difficult to achieve satisfactory results. Purpose: This study intends to describe a case of a patient with glaucoma, irregular astigmatism, and cataract who was successfully treated. Additionally, it can serve as a useful source of inspiration for the future care of patients like this. Case Presentation: A 24-year-old male with keratoconus in the past. He had undergone a corneal crosslinking operation in the right eye and a penetrating keratoplasty in the left eye due to his long history of keratoconus in both eyes. Right now, the keratoconus in that eye is stable. Unfortunately, he has now been diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma and complicated cataracts in both eyes, and he was admitted to our hospital for surgery. The right eye had significant irregular astigmatism, which was discovered during the preoperative assessment, and the implantation of a Toric intraocular lens was unable to produce good results. Finally, we chose to perform EXPRESS glaucoma drainage device implantation + phacoemulsification + intraocular lense (ZEISS CT ASPHINA 409MP) implantation. The patient had stable postoperative astigmatism with rule thanks to the traction effect of the scleral flap suture. Astigmatism was typically stable six months after surgery, and the corrected visual acuity with glasses had improved to 20/25. Conclusion: This patient suffers from cataracts, keratoconus, glaucoma, and irregular astigmatism. Due to the interconnectedness of these four disorders, simultaneous success is challenging. We realized that surgically induced astigmatism, frequently affects vision early after filtering surgery for glaucoma patients. In the instance of this patient, we tightly sutured the scleral flap and using tractive action, established regular astigmatism. After the patient’s astigmatism stabilized, optometry was given to correct the vision. This technique should result in much better visual acuity. Finally, it came to pass.

文摘AIM: To conduct a systematic review and quantitative Meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of combined surgery for the eyes with coexisting cataract and open angle glaucoma.METHODS: We performed a systematic search of the related literature in the Cochrane Library, PubM ed, EMBASE, Web of Science databases, CNKI, CBM and Wan Fang databases, with no limitations on language or publication date. The primary efficacy estimate was identified by weighted mean difference of the percentage of intraocular pressure reduction(IOPR%) from baseline to end-point, the percentage of number of glaucoma medications reduction from pre-to post-operation, and the secondary efficacy evaluations were performed by odds ratio(OR) and 95% confidence interval(CI) for complete and qualified success rate. Besides, ORs were applied to assess the tolerability of adverse incidents. Meta-analyses of fixed or random effect models were performed using Rev Man software 5.2 to gather the consequences. Heterogeneity was evaluated by Chi^2 test and the I^2 measure.RESULTS: Ten studies enrolling 3108 patients were included. The combined consequences indicated that both glaucoma and combined cataract and glaucoma surgery significantly decreased IOP. For deep sclerectomy vs deep sclerectomy plus phacoemulsification and canaloplasty vs phaco-canaloplasty, the differences in IOPR% were not all statistically significant while trabeculotomy was detected to gain a quantitatively greater IOPR% compared with trabeculotomy plus phacoemulsification. Furthermore, there was no statistical significance in the complete and qualified success rate, and the rates of adverse incidents for trabeculotomy vs trabeculotomy plus phacoemulsification.CONCLUSION: Compared with trabeculotomy plus phacoemulsification, trabeculectomy alone is more effective in lowering IOP and the number of glaucoma medications, while the two surgeries can not demonstrate statistical differences in the complete success rate, qualified success rate, or incidence of adverse incidents.
