[Spontaneous healing of a cataract with secondary glaucoma (author's transl)].
A 55-year-old man was referred to our clinic with a mature, swollen cataractous lens and a secondary phakolytic glaucoma. However, the patient refused to undergo surgery. Twelve years later he returned. Meanwhile the lens had been  almost completely absorbed; visual acuity was 20/32 and there had been no severe damage to the optic nerve. The speed of absorption of the lens had evidently been sufficient to cure the secondary glaucoma rapidly.
