title: Cataract after glaucoma filtration surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We reviewed the evidence regarding cataract incidence and progression after glaucoma surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Evidence-based review of available literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  We performed a systematic review of relevant studies published in English.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Reports of visually significant cataract after glaucoma surgery are supported by data from randomized clinical trials and large case series.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Patients undergoing glaucoma surgery are at increased risk for the development and progression of cataract.
