[Role of free radical oxidation reaction in lens opacities after antiglaucoma surgery].
The content of lipid peroxidation products (malonic dialdehyde) in the aqueous humor is increased in patients with mature cataracts developing after antiglaucoma surgery. Antioxidative activity of the humor was decreased. A relationship was revealed between the postoperative changes in ocular hydrodynamics and metabolic disorders in the chamber humor (reduction of the antioxidative activity of the humor and its suppressed production), which explains one mechanism of cataract development in patients operated on for glaucoma.
