Cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation in eyes with phacomorphic or phacolytic glaucoma.
We describe nine patients who had phacomorphic or phacolytic glaucoma. After intraocular pressure (IOP) was reduced medically, all patients had extracapsular cataract extraction. All had intraocular lens implantation except one. The surgery improved visual acuity and resulted in normal IOP in all eyes.
