Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate risk factors for intraocular pressure (IOP) spike after cataract surgery using the IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight). DESIGN Retrospective clinical cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Adults with IRIS Registry data who underwent stand-alone phacoemulsification from January 1, 2013, through September 30, 2019. METHODS Intraocular pressure spike was defined as postoperative IOP of > 30 mmHg and > 10 mmHg from the baseline within the first postoperative week. Odds ratios (ORs) for demographic and clinical characteristics were calculated with univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Incidence and OR of IOP spike. RESULTS We analyzed data from 1 191 034 eyes (patient mean age, 71.3 years; 61.2% female sex; and 24.8% with glaucoma). An IOP spike occurred in 3.7% of all eyes, 5.2% of eyes with glaucoma, and 3.2% of eyes without glaucoma (P < 0.0001). Multivariable analyses of all eyes indicated a greater risk of IOP spike with higher baseline IOP (OR, 1.57 per 3 mmHg), male sex (OR, 1.79), glaucoma (OR, 1.20), Black race (OR, 1.39 vs. Asian and 1.21 vs. Hispanic), older age (OR, 1.07 per 10 years), and complex surgery coding (OR, 1.22; all P < 0.0001). Diabetes (OR, 0.90) and aphakia after surgery (OR, 0.60) seemed to be protective against IOP spike (both P < 0.0001). Compared with glaucoma suspects, ocular hypertension (OR, 1.55), pigmentary glaucoma (OR, 1.56), and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (OR, 1.52) showed a greater risk of IOP spike and normal-tension glaucoma (OR, 0.55), suspected primary angle closure (PAC; OR, 0.67), and PAC glaucoma (OR, 0.81) showed less risk (all P < 0.0001). Using more baseline glaucoma medications was associated with IOP spike (OR, 1.18 per medication), whereas topical β-blocker use (OR, 0.68) was protective (both P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Higher baseline IOP, male sex, glaucoma, Black race, older age, and complex cataract coding were associated with early postoperative IOP spike, whereas diabetes and postoperative aphakia were protective against a spike after stand-alone phacoemulsification. Glaucomatous eyes demonstrated different risk profiles dependent on glaucoma subtype. The findings may help surgeons to stratify and mitigate the risk of IOP spike after cataract surgery.

Predictive biomarkers of intra-ocular pressure decrease after cataract surgery associated with trabecular washout in patients with pseudo exfoliative glaucoma. Sci Rep 2024; 14:13567. [PMID: 38866840 PMCID: PMC11169244 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-53893-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
To investigate biomarkers of intra-ocular pressure (IOP) decrease after cataract surgery with trabecular washout in pseudo-exfoliative (PEX) glaucoma. A single-center observational prospective study in PEX glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery with trabecular washout (Goniowash) was performed from 2018 to 2021. Age, gender, visual acuity, IOP, endothelial cell count, central corneal thickness, medications, were collected over 16-month follow-up. Multivariable binomial regression models were implemented. 54 eyes (35 subjects) were included. Mean preoperative IOP (IOPBL) was 15.9 ± 3.5 mmHg. Postoperative IOP reduction was significant at 1-month and throughout follow-up (p < 0.01, respectively). IOPBL was a predictive biomarker inversely correlated to IOP decrease throughout follow-up (p < 0.001). At 1 and 12 months of follow-up, IOP decrease concerned 31 (57.4%) and 34 (63.0%) eyes with an average IOP decrease of 17.5% (from 17.6 ± 3.1 to 14.3 ± 2.2 mmHg) and 23.0% (from 17.7 ± 2.8 to 13.5 ± 2.6 mmHg), respectively. Performance (AUC) of IOPBL was 0.85 and 0.94 (p < 0.0001, respectively), with IOPBL threshold ≥ 15 mmHg for 82.1% and 96.8% sensitivity, 84.2% and 75.0% specificity, 1.84 and 3.91 IOP decrease odds-ratio, respectively. All PEX glaucoma patients with IOPBL greater than or equal to the average general population IOP were likely to achieve a significant sustainable postoperative IOP decrease.

Abstract
This prospective observational study investigates the impact of cataract surgery on anterior segment parameters in nonglaucomatous and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes, utilizing anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). The study involved 42 Caucasian patients, divided into a control group and a POAG group. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were performed along with AS-OCT imaging and biometry preoperatively, as well as on one day, one week, and one month following cataract surgery. The results showed significant post-operative changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD) and angle width in both groups, suggesting that cataract surgery may influence the structural parameters associated with glaucoma risk and management. Specifically, a marked increase in ACD and improvement in angle-opening distances were observed, highlighting the potential of cataract extraction to alter intraocular fluid dynamics favorably. Despite these changes, the study noted an initial spike in increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in POAG patients immediately post-operative, which stabilized during follow-up. For the control group, IOP showed gradually reducing IOP values in the follow-up visits. The findings underscore the role of advanced imaging technologies in understanding glaucoma's pathophysiology and the potential benefits of cataract surgery in glaucoma patients. The study advocates for further research with a larger, more diverse patient population and extended follow-up to explore the long-term implications of cataract surgery on glaucoma dynamics, emphasizing the importance of personalized management and treatment strategies particularly for glaucoma patients.

Abstract
The incidence of both cataract and glaucoma is increasing globally. With increasing patient expectation and improved technology, premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), including presbyopia-correcting and toric IOLs, are being increasingly implanted today. However, concerns remain regarding the use of premium IOLs, particularly presbyopia-correcting IOLs, in eyes with glaucoma. This systematic review evaluates the use of premium IOLs in glaucoma. A comprehensive search of the MEDLINE database was performed from inception until 1 June 2023. Initial search yielded 1404 records, of which 12 were included in the final review of post-operative outcomes. Studies demonstrated high spectacle independence for distance and good patient satisfaction in glaucomatous eyes, with positive outcomes also in post-operative visual acuity, residual astigmatism, and contrast sensitivity. Considerations in patient selection include anatomical and functional factors, such as the type and severity of glaucomatous visual field defects, glaucoma subtype, presence of ocular surface disease, ocular changes after glaucoma surgery, and the reliability of disease monitoring, all of which may be affected by, or influence, the outcomes of premium IOL implantation in glaucoma patients. Regular reviews on this topic are needed in order to keep up with the rapid advancements in IOL technology and glaucoma surgical treatments.

Intraocular Pressure and Medication Burden With Cataract Surgery Alone, or Cataract Surgery Combined With Trabecular Bypass or Goniotomy. J Glaucoma 2022; 31:423-429. [PMID: 35353775 DOI: 10.1097/ijg.0000000000002028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
PRCIS When compared with cataract surgery in glaucoma patients, trabecular micro-bypass and goniotomy resulted in a large decrease in the incidence of intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes, a modest effect on IOP, and a minimal effect on medication burden. PURPOSE To compare changes in IOP and ocular hypotensive medications in 3 surgical cohorts: cataract surgery, cataract surgery with trabecular micro-bypass (cataract/trabecular), and cataract surgery with goniotomy (cataract/goniotomy). MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 138 eyes diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma: (1) 84 eyes with cataract surgery alone, (2) 25 eyes with cataract/trabecular surgery, and (3) 29 eyes with cataract/goniotomy surgery. We compared the groups for postoperative IOP and the number of ocular hypotensive medications. We adjusted for preoperative IOP, and preoperative and postoperative number of ocular hypotensive medications. We defined an IOP spike as IOP ≥21 mm Hg and 10 mm Hg higher than preoperative on postoperative day 1. RESULTS All 3 surgeries showed a decrease in IOP (P≤0.004) and medication burden (P≤0.001) at 3 and 6 months postoperatively when compared with their own preoperative baselines. When compared with cataract surgery alone, cataract/trabecular and cataract/goniotomy had similar IOP lowering at 1 month postoperatively, and variable results at 3 and 6 months. The change in ocular hypotensive medications was not statistically different between the surgical groups at any postoperative visit. Cataract/trabecular and cataract/goniotomy decreased IOP on postoperative day 1, and had relative risk reduction of ~70% for IOP spikes (P≤0.001 for both). CONCLUSION Trabecular micro-bypass and goniotomy when added to cataract surgery resulted in a large decrease in IOP spikes, a modest effect on IOP, and a minimal effect on medication burden when compared with cataract surgery alone in glaucoma patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the effect of uneventful cataract surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP) in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) eyes with and without a history of Mitomycin C-augmented trabeculectomy. METHODS Eyes with PXG that had underwent uneventful cataract surgery were enrolled. The IOP and the medication numbers before cataract surgery, and 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months after cataract surgery, and at the last visit were recorded in PXG with and without previous trabeculectomy. Failure was defined as IOP > 21 or ≤ 21 mmHg with additional medication or surgery. In the postoperative first 24 h, IOP > 50% above baseline was defined as an IOP spike. RESULTS In the trabeculectomized eyes (n = 37), the increase in the mean IOP (p = 0.024) and the increase in the mean number of medications (p = 0.007) was significant at the last visit when compared with baseline. In the non-trabeculectomized eyes (n = 42) there was a significant decrease in the mean IOP (p = 0.016) and in the mean number of medications (p = 0.038) at the last visit. Twelve eyes (32.4%) in trabeculectomized group and six (14.3%) in the non-trabeculectomized group experienced failure. An IOP spike was seen in one eye in the trabeculectomized group, in 15 eyes in the non-trabeculectomized group (p < 0.0001). The IOP spike was a significant risk factor for failure (p = 0.027). CONCLUSION Uneventful cataract surgery may have significant negative effect on the IOP control in the trabeculectomized PXG eyes. After cataract surgery, the non-trabeculectomized PXG eyes had a higher risk of IOP spike and an IOP spike may be a risk factor for failure.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the outcomes and demographics of patients undergoing mechanical pupil dilation (MPD) during cataract surgery. SETTING All cataract procedures performed in Umeå University Hospital and Sunderbyn, Gällivare and Piteå hospitals reported to the Swedish National Cataract Register (NCR) during 2013-2019. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study based on the Swedish NCR and electronic patient records. METHODS The number of control visits, pre- and postoperative visual acuities, surgical complications/intraoperative difficulties, ocular comorbidities and postoperative treatment regimens were retrieved for all cataract procedures with MPD. For each procedure, the consecutive procedure in the NCR from the same clinic without MPD was chosen to form a control group. A multinominal regression analysis with MPD as the dependent variable was performed to identify factors and outcomes independently associated with MPD. RESULTS A total of 25 349 patients aged 18-97 years underwent cataract surgery in these hospitals during the study period. Of these, 653 (2.6%) had MPD. Factors such as pseudoexfoliations and capsule staining were over-represented among MPD eyes. As a group, eyes with MPD had more postoperative visits and more postoperative anti-inflammatory drops, and more frequently needed augmentation of the anti-inflammatory treatment at the first postoperative visit. CONCLUSIONS MPD is independently associated with a more complicated intra- and postoperative course with more follow-up visits and requires more anti-inflammatory treatment postoperatively. This information could be added to the postoperative counselling, and more postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment could be considered in cases with MPD.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of cataract surgery for patients with iris-fixated phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs). This study included 96 eyes of 91 patients. The changes in the logMAR uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), subjective spherical equivalent (SE), astigmatism, and endothelial cell density (ECD) were collected retrospectively. The intraoperative and postoperative complications also were investigated to assess the surgical safety. The preoperative UCVA and BCVA improved significantly at month 1 postoperatively, respectively (p < 0.001 for both comparisons). The efficacy and safety index at month 1 postoperatively were 1.02 ± 0.56 and 1.31 ± 0.64, respectively. The SE at month 1 postoperatively was significantly (p < 0.001) higher compared to preoperatively, whereas the subjective astigmatism did not differ significantly (p = 0.078). The ECD significantly decreased at month 1 (p < 0.001). The most common postoperative complication was intraocular pressure elevation exceeding 25 mmHg in 10.4% of eyes, which was controlled with medications in all cases until month 1 postoperatively. No intraoperative complications developed. Cataract surgeries for patients with iris-fixated pIOLs were performed safely with good visual outcomes.

Abstract
Cataract surgery in the presence of glaucoma poses certain challenges that need to be addressed to offer the maximum benefit without complications. In this paper, we are reviewing the preoperative assessment, surgical options, the planning, and postoperative care. Cataract surgery can help reduce the intraocular pressure alone or combined with MIGS. When performed in patients with glaucoma, it can transiently increase the intraocular pressure and later on decrease the IOP to levels lower than the postoperative. The preoperative IOP and biometric characteristics are the main predictors of the postoperative course of IOP. The combination of cataract surgery with trabeculectomy remains controversial, in terms of best timing of each operation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize intraocular pressure (IOP) response after treatment with dexamethasone intraocular suspension 9% vs placebo (vehicle) injection or topical prednisolone acetate 1% and to identify factors associated with increased IOP after cataract surgery. SETTING Data were pooled from two multicenter phase 3 clinical trials of patients undergoing routine cataract surgery. DESIGN Randomized, double-blind study and open-label study. METHODS Subjects were randomized to treatment with dexamethasone intraocular suspension or placebo in the double-blind study 1 and to dexamethasone intraocular suspension or topical prednisolone acetate in the open-label study 2. Subjects who experienced 10 mm Hg or greater, 15 mm Hg or greater, or 20 mm Hg or greater postoperative IOP increase from baseline were stratified by baseline IOP. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models of patient variables were applied to identify independent risk factors predictive of IOP elevation of 10 mm Hg or greater or 15 mm Hg or greater. RESULTS The study comprised 414 subjects. Dexamethasone intraocular suspension was associated with a slightly higher mean IOP at the first postoperative visit vs prednisolone (P < .05); however, mean IOP was not statistically different between the 2 groups by postoperative day 8 (P = .5006) or thereafter. Univariate analysis showed that both prednisolone and dexamethasone intraocular suspension increased risk for postoperative IOP elevation compared with placebo; however, there was no statistically significant increased risk with dexamethasone intraocular suspension vs prednisolone. Aside from antiinflammatory treatment, risk factors for postoperative IOP elevation by univariate and multivariate analyses were higher baseline IOP, high myopia, and, when defining IOP increase as 15 mm Hg or greater from baseline, male sex. CONCLUSIONS Dexamethasone intraocular suspension was associated with IOP elevation patterns comparable with topical prednisolone. High myopia, higher baseline IOP, and male sex were significant predictors of postoperative IOP elevation in this cohort.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the number of postoperative visits after cataract surgery in two institutions with different routines. Patients and Methods A population-based prospective, observational, cohort study was conducted at two institutions in northern Sweden. All cataract surgery cases during a 1-year period were included. The study group was 1249 cases, who followed the standard routine at the Sunderby clinic, ie, no planned postoperative visit for patients without comorbidity who had uncomplicated surgery. All cases (n=1162) having surgery during the same 1-year period at the Umeå clinic were selected as the control group. The routine in Umeå was a planned postoperative visit for all patients after first eye surgery, and on second eye surgery patients with other ocular comorbidity. Results A postoperative visit was planned in 44% (555/1249) of the study group and in 83% of all control group cases (966/1162). Significantly less patients in the study group (9% vs 16%; p=0.000036) initiated an unplanned contact. Patients with a distance to the hospital of 70 km or longer were less inclined to seek unplanned care (p=0.016). There was no difference in postoperative outcomes between the patients who initiated contact and those who did not in the study and control hospitals. Conclusion Without compromising patient safety, it is possible to reduce the burden of postoperative visits in cases with uncomplicated cataract surgery. A reduction in the number of visits is obtained only if the standard routine is no planned postoperative visits in uncomplicated cases without ocular comorbidity for both first and second eye surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare early postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients who underwent cataract surgery alone with those who underwent cataract surgery combined with implantation of a Hydrus Microstent (HMS) (Ivantis, Irvine, CA). DESIGN Subanalysis of data from the randomized controlled HORIZON trial, a multicenter trial including 26 US and 12 international sites. PARTICIPANTS Participants with mild/moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and visually significant cataract with mean modified diurnal IOP between 22 and 34 mmHg after washout of IOP-lowering medications. METHODS A total of 556 subjects were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to undergo cataract surgery with placement of the HMS versus cataract surgery alone (no microstent [NMS]). All eyes were washed out of IOP-lowering medications before surgery and remained unmedicated until surgery. No IOP-lowering prophylaxis was used postoperatively. Comprehensive eye examination including measurement of intraocular pressure was conducted on postoperative day (POD) 1, week 1, and month 1. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Postoperative IOP >40 mmHg was analyzed as the primary outcome. Incidence of IOP increase >10 mmHg above baseline, unmedicated IOP, and mean IOP were analyzed as secondary outcomes. RESULTS A total of 369 eyes were randomized to the HMS group, and 187 eyes were randomized to cataract surgery alone. The HMS and NMS groups did not differ with respect to baseline demographic or ocular characteristics. On POD1, the incidence of IOP spike >40 mmHg was significantly higher at 14.4% in the NMS group compared with 1.4% in the HMS group (P < 0.001). The incidence of IOP increase ≥10 mmHg relative to baseline on POD1 was also significantly higher in the NMS group than in the HMS group (22.5% vs. 3.0%, P < 0.001). IOP in the NMS group was significantly higher than in the HMS group (27.6 vs. 17.0 mmHg, P < 0.001). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, higher baseline IOP predicted higher odds of POD1 IOP spike >40 mmHg, whereas the presence of HMS was associated with a lower likelihood of postoperative IOP spike. CONCLUSIONS The addition of an HMS at the time of cataract surgery lowered the risk of markedly elevated IOP in the early postoperative period in patients with glaucoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the current literature on the relationship between cataract extraction and intraocular pressure (IOP). RECENT FINDINGS Cataract extraction can be an effective IOP lowering treatment for open and closed angle glaucoma as well as ocular hypertension. In comparative trials studying novel micro-invasive glaucoma surgeries in open angle glaucoma, the control group undergoing cataract extraction alone routinely achieved significant reductions in IOP and medication use postoperatively. Data from the Effectiveness in Angle Closure Glaucoma of Lens Extraction (EAGLE) trials have demonstrated that lens extraction is more effective at lowering IOP than peripheral iridotomy in patients with angle closure and should be considered as first line therapy. Additionally, patients in the ocular hypertension treatment study who underwent cataract extraction over the course of follow-up demonstrated significant IOP lowering sustained over 3 years. SUMMARY Cataract extraction is an effective method to lower IOP in patients with glaucoma. Pressure lowering is more significant in eyes with narrow angles and those with higher baseline IOP levels. In eyes with angle closure, phacoemulsification alone can lower IOP, but when combined with GSL it may be even more effective. Recent large multicenter randomized trials have further elucidated the benefit of standalone cataract extraction to treat mild to moderate primary open angle glaucoma. Prospective and longitudinal studies that systematically investigate the variables that may influence degree and duration of IOP lowering post cataract extraction are lacking.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgery in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). A well-known complication is a transient but potentially harmful elevation in intraocular pressure (IOP) within the 24-h postoperative period. The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk factors for IOP elevation 1 d after cataract surgery in a cohort of United States (US) veterans. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 784 patients who underwent cataract surgery between April 2013 and April 2016 at a single Veterans Affairs medical center in Providence, RI. One thousand one hundred thirty-seven cataract surgeries were considered in total. Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval was obtained through the Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center (PVAMC). Logistic regression, adjusted for patients with bilateral surgeries, was used to evaluate risk factors for first postoperative day IOP elevation (≥28 mmHg). The main outcome measure was elevated IOP on postoperative day 1 (POD1) after cataract surgery. RESULTS The average patient age was 74 yr. Ninety-eight percent (1,110/1,137) of cases involved male patients; 75.3% (856/1,137) of the cataract surgeries were performed by resident surgeons. Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) was present in 41% (461/1,137), alpha-1 blocker use in 31% (358/1,137), ocular hypertension (ocular HTN) in 4% (44/1,137), and glaucoma in 11% (126/1,137) of cases. Twenty-two percent (232/1,137) of eyes had elevated IOP. Independent risk factors were a history of ocular HTN (OR: 8.74 [4.03-18.9]), glaucoma (OR: 3.54 [2.17-5.75]), a preoperative IOP ≥22 mmHg (OR: 2.51 [1.12-5.62]), and complicated cataract surgery (OR: 2.45 [1.18-5.08]), defined as vitreous loss, anterior capsular tear (ACT), posterior capsular tear (PCT), or presence of zonular lysis. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that cataract surgery patients with ocular HTN, glaucoma, a preoperative IOP ≥22 mmHg, or significant intraocular complications may benefit from prophylactic ocular anti-hypertensive medication.

Acta Ophthalmol 2019; 97:545-557. [PMID: 30941916 DOI: 10.1111/aos.14092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2019] [Accepted: 03/03/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the literature regarding prophylactic treatment of intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation after uncomplicated cataract surgery to provide an evidence-based guideline for cataract surgeons. The relevant literature was identified in EMBASE and PubMed. The risk of bias was assessed according to the 'Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions' and the ROBINS-I tool. The Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria were used to rate the quality of evidence, and relevant data were systematically extracted to evaluate the pressure-lowering effect of the active substances. The primary outcomes for this systematic review were the absolute and relative pressure-lowering effect of the different drugs after 3-8 hr and 1 day after surgery. In total, 23 randomized controlled trials and one nonrandomized controlled study consisting of 45 treatment arms with 14 different active substances were included in the qualitative synthesis. According to the GRADE criteria, nine trials were graded as 'high' quality of evidence, 12 trials as 'moderate', while three trials were given the grade 'low' quality of evidence. The primary outcomes showed most consistency between the trials, which studied the effect of timolol, and presented a relative effect from 18.6% to 29.6% at 3-8 hr and 9.8% to 23.6% at day 1. This systematic review indicates that timolol, latanoprost and travoprost alone or medications containing timolol as an additive active substance, such as dorzolamide + timolol, brinzolamide + timolol and brimonidine + timolol, are characterized by a good relative IOP-lowering effect, which can be gained by a single dose postoperatively.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effects of a topical intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medication for preventing an IOP increase after cataract surgery in eyes with glaucoma. DESIGN Randomized clinical study. METHODS A total of 165 eyes of 165 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma scheduled for phacoemulsification were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups to receive each medication immediately postoperatively: 1) prostaglandin F2α analog (travoprost), 2) β-blocker (timolol maleate), or 3) carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (brinzolamide). Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using a rebound tonometer at 1 hour preoperatively, at the end of surgery, and at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours postoperatively. The incidence of eyes exhibiting a marked IOP increase to greater than 25 mm Hg was compared among the groups. RESULTS At 1 hour preoperatively and at the end of surgery, mean IOP did not differ significantly among the groups. Mean IOP increased significantly between 4 and 8 hours postoperatively and then decreased at 24 hours postoperatively in all groups (P < .0001). Mean IOP was significantly lower in the brinzolamide group than in the travoprost or timolol group at 4, 6, and 8 hours postoperatively (P ≤ .0374) and did not differ significantly among groups at 2 and 24 hours postoperatively. The incidence of an IOP spike was significantly lower in the brinzolamide group than in the travoprost and timolol groups (P = .0029). CONCLUSIONS Brinzolamide reduces the short-term IOP increase after cataract surgery more effectively than travoprost or timolol in eyes with glaucoma, suggesting that brinzolamide is preferable for preventing an IOP spike.

Abstract
RATIONALE Optic disk hemorrhage has been closely correlated with glaucoma for its development and progression. Phacoemulsification surgery results in large intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuation. We report a case of optic disk hemorrhage and consequently progressive vitreous hemorrhage after an unsuccessful phacoemulsification surgery in an advanced normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patient. PATIENT CONCERNS An advanced NTG patient of 82 years old with chronic hypertension underwent an unsuccessful phacoemulsification surgery complicated by posterior capsule rupture. During the postoperative 2 weeks, recurrent episodes of fresh hyphema occurred and B ultrasonography scan revealed the progressive vitreous hemorrhage. The IOP went out of control under the maximum tolerable IOP-lowering medications. DIAGNOSIS Vitreous hemorrhage after phacoemulsification in an advanced NTG patient. INTERVENTIONS Vitrectomy was performed to search for the cause of the progressive vitreous hemorrhage. After removal of the thick vitreous hemorrhage, a fresh spot of optic disk hemorrhage was detected at the nasal margin of the significantly-cupping disk. OUTCOMES Postoperatively, the hemorrhagic vitreous opacity gradually resolved and the IOP remained stable at 10 ∼13 mmHg with topical prostaglandin analogue drops. Fundus examination revealed the dilated disk vessel with localized angiomatous change at the nasal disk margin. LESSONS Severe optic disk hemorrhage may occur after phacoemulsification in advanced glaucoma patients. Systemic vascular factors, such as chronic hypertension and old age, and surgical complications, such as posterior capsule rupture and postoperative IOP elevation, would further increase the risk. For phacoemulsification in advanced glaucoma cases, extra care should be taken to control intraoperative IOP fluctuations and monitor postoperative IOP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraocular lens fixation surgery is associated with fluctuations in intraocular pressure. This may be significantly relevant in glaucoma patients. OBJECTIVES To assess short- and medium-term intraocular pressure control after trans-scleral intraocular lens fixation surgery in glaucoma patients. METHODS The charts of all glaucoma patients who underwent trans-scleral intraocular lens fixation surgery with at least 6 months follow-up by a single surgeon between the years 2004 and 2017 were reviewed. Primary outcomes were intraocular pressure at 1 day and 6 months after surgery. Secondary outcome measures were hypotensive medication use and the need for further intraocular pressure lowering interventions. RESULTS Eleven eyes of 10 patients were included in the analysis. Mean follow-up post intraocular lens fixation surgery was 54.6 months. Mean intraocular pressure before, 6 months, and last follow-up after intraocular lens fixation surgery was 15.8 ± 5.3 mmHg (range 10.6-25.3), 13.5 ± 3.8 mmHg (range 8-21, p = 0.2), and 11.8 ± 5.6 (range 6-21, p = 0.09) on a mean of 2.3 ± 1.6, 2 ± 1.6 (p = 0.23), and 1.7 ± 1.5 (p = 0.08) hypotensive medications, respectively. A pressure spike was noted in 5 of the 11 eyes on the first post-operative day (mean spike 15.2 mmHg, range 6-23). Four of 11 eyes in the study (36%) needed additional interventions to control intraocular pressure by the 6-month point. One eye required the addition of two classes of topical medications, one eye required laser trabeculoplasty, and two eyes required trabeculectomy. CONCLUSION Over a third of glaucomatous eyes required a change in the management of their disease in the early post-operative period. Close follow-up of patients undergoing trans-scleral intraocular lens fixation surgery is warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the early-postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) changes and frequency of IOP spike after cataract surgery in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) eyes and to compare them with those of nonglaucomatous eyes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a case-control study. We reviewed the medical records of patients who had undergone cataract surgery. One-to-one (1:1) case matching was performed, each matched set consisting of 1 NTG and 1 nonglaucomatous eye as the control eye. Comparisons between those 2 groups were performed. Specifically, IOP was measured preoperatively and 1 day, 1, 2, and 4 weeks postoperatively. The incidence of IOP spike was evaluated according to the criteria of IOP higher than 21, 25, 30 mm Hg, higher than 5, 10 mm Hg over baseline IOP, and 50% above preoperative IOP. RESULTS A total of 298 eyes (149 NTG eyes and 149 control eyes) were enrolled. Preoperative IOP did not show any significant difference between the 2 groups (P=0.687). IOP significantly decreased in both the NTG and control groups [P<0.001, repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA)]. No significant differences in this regard were detected between the 2 groups (P=0.618, repeated-measures ANOVA). When IOP spike was evaluated according to the 6 criteria, the frequencies were <3% at any timepoint. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS In both the NTG and control groups, IOP gradually decreased in the early-postoperative period after cataract surgery, and there was no significant difference between the 2 groups. The frequency of IOP spike was <5% in both the NTG group and the control group.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review was to assess the risk factors and course of postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) increase in order to determine the optimal the treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Early postoperative IOP elevation following cataract surgery is a frequent adverse event, and might represent 88% early postoperative complications. The risk factors for IOP elevation following phacoemulsification cataract surgery include residual viscoelastic material, resident performed surgery, glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, axial length over 25 mm, tamsulosin intake, topical steroid application in steroid responders. A day-1 postoperative follow-up might be questioned, even in glaucoma patients, as in IOP spikes the topmost IOP elevation occurs 3-4 h postoperatively. SUMMARY Several IOP-lowering agents have been evaluated, but none has completely prevented the occurrence of IOP spikes. We recommend applying a combination of dorzolamide/timolol and brinzolamide topically in high-risk patients, particularly with preexisting optic nerve damage. Corticosteroid cessation usually results in a reduction of the IOP to normal levels in steroid responders. Additional studies are required to assess the optimal treatment, especially in glaucoma patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the overdiagnosis of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and to investigate associated factors. METHODS This was a cross-sectional, population-based study of an urban Caucasian population in northern Greece. Randomly selected subjects ≥60 years (n = 2554) participated in the Thessaloniki Eye Study. The definition of OAG required the presence of structural and functional damage, irrespective of intraocular pressure (IOP). Non-OAG subjects were classified as overdiagnosed with OAG if they had reported at least one of the following (self-reported glaucoma): (i) prior diagnosis of glaucoma, (ii) prior laser for glaucoma, (iii) prior glaucoma surgery. Factors associated with the overdiagnosis of OAG were investigated using a logistic regression model. RESULTS Of 57 (2.2%) subjects with self-reported glaucoma, 34 (60%) were overdiagnosed with OAG, corresponding to a prevalence of 1.3% (34/2554). In a logistic regression model among non-OAG subjects, worse visual acuity (VA) (20/200 or worse versus 20/25 or better; odds ratio (OR) = 4.30, 95% Confidence Intervals (CI), 1.13-16.35), family history of glaucoma (OR = 8.69, 95% CI, 2.83-26.67) and history of cataract surgery (OR = 11.50, 95% CI, 3.85-34.36) were statistically significantly associated with the overdiagnosis of OAG. Age, sex, higher IOP, higher vertical cup-to-disc ratio and pseudoexfoliation were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION The overdiagnosis of OAG was substantial in this elderly, Caucasian population. The overdiagnosis of glaucoma has not been previously addressed in population-based studies and needs to be further explored.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have become an important adjunctive tool for surgeons performing routine and complicated cataract surgery. These medications have been found to reduce pain, prevent intraoperative miosis, modulate postoperative inflammation, and reduce the incidence of cystoid macular edema (CME). Whether used alone, synergistically with steroids, or for specific high-risk eyes prone to the development of CME, the effectiveness of these medications is compelling. This review describes the potential preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative uses of NSAIDs, including the potency, indications and treatment paradigms and adverse effects and contraindications. A thorough understanding of these issues will help surgeons maximize the therapeutic benefits of these agents and improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Phacoemulsification (phaco) for cataract extraction is 1 of the most commonly performed ophthalmic surgeries. With increasing evidence of significant intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction after phaco, the paradigm for glaucoma treatment has been shifting toward more cataract extraction instead of glaucoma surgery; thus, the population of glaucoma patients undergoing phaco is likely to continue to increase in the coming years. Although the safety of surgery has improved over the years with newer technologies and machines, postoperative IOP spike remains an important condition even after an uneventful operation. Glaucoma patients undergoing phacoemulsification are particularly at risk of further glaucomatous optic nerve damage from the transient yet potentially high pressures after phaco. Common treatments include topical, intracameral, oral, and systemic IOP-lowering medications; postoperative anterior chamber paracentesis (ACP); and so on. No single treatment to date can guarantee effective prevention or control IOP rise in the first 24 hours after phaco. Sometimes, the IOP remains high despite all of the above treatments and the risk for further glaucomatous damage may be unavoidable. In this perspective article, we discuss the incidence, causes, and treatments of IOP rise after phaco and introduce a new technique, a non-self-sealing (leaky) ACP that may be of use in regulating postoperative IOP rise, especially for patients with glaucoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effects of topical loteprednol and fluorometholone in children who underwent strabismus surgery. METHODS This is a retrospective observational case series. A total of 60 Korean children who underwent strabismus surgery between January 2016 and September 2016 were included. Patients were prescribed topical loteprednol etabonate 0.5% or fluorometholone 0.1% until 3 weeks after surgery. Four parameters (intraocular pressure [IOP], conjunctival injection, conjunctival inflammation, and patient discomfort) were assessed every week for up to 4 weeks after surgery. Main outcome measures were comparison of parameters between the 2 groups at each following week after surgery. In addition, factors associated with clinically meaningful IOP elevation were evaluated. RESULTS IOP was significantly elevated at the second and third postoperative week compared with baseline (P = 0.028 and 0.001) in the loteprednol group but not significantly in the fluorometholone group. The mean IOP of the loteprednol group at 1 and 3 weeks after surgery were significantly higher than that of the fluorometholone group (P = 0.032 and 0.017, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≤8 years (odds ratio 14.52, 95% confidence interval 1.16-139.05) was associated with IOP >21 mmHg. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in patient discomfort, conjunctival inflammation, and conjunctival injection. CONCLUSIONS Loteprednol and fluorometholone showed similar anti-inflammatory effect after strabismus surgery in children. Loteprednol appeared to have more effect on IOP elevation than fluorometholone, especially in children ≤8 years of age. When treating young patients with loteprednol, clinicians should be aware of IOP elevation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine whether intraocular pressure (IOP) increases immediately after cataract surgery in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome and to assess whether orally administered acetazolamide can prevent the IOP elevation. SETTING Hayashi Eye Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan. DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS Patients with PXF syndrome scheduled for phacoemulsification were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: (1) oral acetazolamide administered 1 hour preoperatively (preoperative administration group), (2) administered 3 hours postoperatively (postoperative administration group), and (3) not administered (no administration group). The IOP was measured using a rebound tonometer 1 hour preoperatively, upon completion of surgery, and at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 24 hours postoperatively. RESULTS The study comprised 96 patients (96 eyes). The mean IOP increased at 3, 5, and 7 hours postoperatively in all groups. At 1 hour and 3 hours postoperatively, the IOP was significantly lower in the preoperative administration group than in the postoperative group and no administration group (P ≤ .001). At 5, 7, and 24 hours postoperatively, the IOP was significantly lower in the preoperative group and postoperative administration group than in the no administration group (P ≤. 045). An IOP spike higher than 25 mm Hg occurred less frequently in the preoperative administration group than in the postoperative administration group and the no administration group (P = .038). CONCLUSIONS Intraocular pressure increased at 3, 5, and 7 hours after cataract surgery in eyes with PXF syndrome. Oral acetazolamide administered 1 hour preoperatively reduced the IOP elevation throughout the 24-hour follow-up; acetazolamide administered 3 hours postoperatively reduced the elevation at 5 hours postoperatively and thereafter.

Abstract
Background While loteprednol etabonate (LE) suspension 0.5% is approved for the treatment of postoperative ocular inflammation, there have been no reported studies of its use in glaucoma patients undergoing canaloplasty. Methods This was a retrospective medical chart review conducted at a single US center. Data were collected on patients with glaucoma who underwent canaloplasty with or without cataract surgery, and were prescribed LE suspension 0.5% postoperatively. Outcomes evaluated included postsurgical inflammation (anterior chamber [AC] cells and flare), intraocular pressure (IOP), number of IOP-lowering medications, and postsurgical complications. Results Data were collected on 204 patients (262 eyes) with a mean (SD) age of 71.6 (11.3) years. The most frequent LE dosing regimens at day 1, week 1, and month 1 postsurgery were QID (92.3%; 241/261), TID (52.6%; 133/253), and QD (65.5%; 78/119), respectively. Inflammation (AC flare and cells), mostly mild, was noted in 33.2% (86/259) of eyes on postoperative day 1 and 8.6% (21/244) of eyes at month 1. Mean IOP and mean number of IOP-lowering medications were significantly reduced from baseline (P<0.001) at all time points postoperatively. Complete (no IOP-lowering medication) or qualified (use of ≤2 IOP-lowering medications) surgical success was achieved in 78.8% and 90.6% of eyes, respectively, at month 6 and 63.4% and 92.7% of eyes at month 36. The most frequently observed postoperative complication was hyphema in 48.7% (126/259) eyes at day 1, which decreased to 0.4% (1/244) of eyes by month 1. IOP ≥30 mmHg was noted in 13 (5.3%) eyes at postoperative week 1 and rarely thereafter, and no patient discontinued therapy because of an IOP increase. Conclusion These real-world data suggest that canaloplasty with or without cataract surgery managed postoperatively with LE suspension 0.5% is effective and safe in the glaucoma patient.

Abstract
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an age-related systemic disease that mainly affects the anterior structures of the eye. Despite a worldwide distribution, reported incidence and prevalence of this syndrome vary widely between ethnicities and geographical areas. The exfoliative material is composed mainly of abnormal cross-linked fibrils that accumulate progressively in some organs such as the heart, blood vessels, lungs or meninges, and particularly in the anterior structures of the eye. The exact pathophysiological process still remains unclear but the association of genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role in the development and progressive extracellular accumulation of exfoliative material. Hence, LOXL1 gene polymorphisms, responsible for metabolism of some components of elastic fibers and extracellular matrix, and increased natural exposure to ambient ultraviolet or caffeine consumption have been associated with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Ophthalmological manifestations are commonly bilateral with an asymmetric presentation and can lead to severe visual impairment and blindness more frequently than in the general population, mainly related to glaucoma and cataract. Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is a major complication of pseudoexfoliation syndrome and represents the main cause of identifiable glaucoma worldwide. Visual field progression is more rapid than that observed in primary open angle glaucoma, and filtering surgery is more frequently required. Nuclear cataract is more frequent and occurs earlier than in the general population. Owing to poorer pupil dilation and increased zonular instability, cataract surgery with pseudoexfoliation is associated with a 5- to 10-fold increase in surgical complications compared to cataract surgery without pseudoexfoliation. Some specific treatments targeting production, formation or accumulation of exfoliative material could improve the prognosis of this syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the aqueous outflow system through channelography with fluorescein during non-penetrating glaucoma surgery (canaloplasty or phacocanaloplasty) and find correlations with preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP). METHODS Thirty-six patients (40 eyes) who had channelography while undergoing non-penetrating glaucoma surgery were included in this prospective study. Several parameters assessed during the channelography included: diffuse and superficial scleral staining, the number of visible superficial connections to collectors, trabecular permeability and number of micro-ruptures of the trabecular meshwork. IOP, the best-corrected visual acuity, the number of glaucoma medications was recorded at 1 day, 7 days, 3 months and 6 months after the operation. RESULTS The change in IOP at 6 months from baseline significantly correlated with the number of visible superficial connections to collectors (r = 0.4, p = 0.021). Eyes with canaloplasty showed a mean baseline IOP of 19.4 (4.9) mmHg and mean glaucoma medication usage of 2.9 (1.0), which decreased to 13.2 (3.1) mmHg with 0.3 (0.8) medications, respectively, at 6 months postoperatively (p < 0.001). Eyes with phacocanaloplasty surgery showed a mean baseline IOP of 28.2 (9.6) mmHg with 2.6 (0.9) mean drugs, which decreased to IOP of 12.8 (3.4) mmHg with 0.5 (0.8) medications at 6 months (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION A larger number of defined visible superficial connections to collectors after injection of fluorescein into SC is related to a more pronounced IOP decrease after non-penetrating glaucoma surgery.

Abstract
Purpose To determine the accuracy of visual estimation of immediate postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) following microincision cataract surgery (MICS) and the effect of immediate postoperative IOP adjustment on prevention of cystoid macular edema (CME). Setting Ambulatory surgical center. Methods Prospective, randomized analysis of 170 eyes in 135 patients with MICS, performed in a Medicare approved outpatient ambulatory surgery center. Surgical parameters included a keratome incision of 1.5 mm to 2.8 mm, topical anesthetic, case completion IOP estimation by palpation and patient visualization of light, and IOP adjustment before exiting the operating theater. IOPs were classified into three groups: low (<16 mmHg), normal (16 to 21 mmHg), and elevated (>21 to 30 mmHg). IOP measurements were repeated 1 day after surgery. Optical coherence tomography (Stratus OCT, Zeiss) was measured at 2 weeks. An increase in foveal thickness greater than 15 µm was used to indicate CME. Statistical analysis was performed using one- and two-tailed Student's t-tests. Results Mean minimal foveal thickness averaged 207.15 µm in the low pressure group, 205.14 µm in the normal IOP group, and 210.48 µm in the elevated IOP group 2 weeks following surgery. CME occurred in 14 of 170 eyes (8.2%) at 2 weeks (low IOP, 35.7%; normal IOP, 14.2%; elevated IOP, 50.0%). Change in IOP from the operating theater to 1 day after surgery was within +/−5 mmHg in 54 eyes (31.7%), elevated by 6 to 15 mmHg in 22 eyes (12.9%), and elevated more than 15 mmHg in four eyes (2.3%). IOP was reduced by 6 mmHg to 15 mmHg in 39 eyes (22.9%) and reduced by more than 15 mmHg in nine eyes (5.3%). Conclusions Immediate postoperative adjustment of IOP may prevent CME in MICS. Physicians can improve their ability to estimate postoperative IOP with experience in tonometry to verify immediate postoperative IOP. There are patient safety and economic benefits to immediate IOP adjustment in the operating theater. Synopsis Immediate postoperative IOP adjustment following cataract surgery before the patient leaves the operating theater may reduce the incidence of CME and provide patient safety and economic benefits.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare glaucoma development and intraocular pressure (IOP) in the longer term following phacoemulsification cataract surgery in eyes with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). METHODS Fifty-one patients with PEX were compared with 102 age- and gender-matched controls without PEX. Patients were re-examined a mean of 76 (SD 5.4) months after cataract surgery, recording IOP, glaucoma diagnosis, glaucoma treatment and LogMAR. Data from the preoperative visit (baseline) and IOP on the first postoperative day were obtained from medical records. A glaucoma parameter was predefined as patients developing glaucoma or needing increased glaucoma treatment during the postoperative time period. RESULTS One new glaucoma case in each group was diagnosed postoperatively, yielding glaucoma incidences of 0.47 cases per 100 person-years [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.006-2.61] and 0.17 cases per 100 person-years (CI 0.002-0.95) in the PEX and control groups respectively (p = 0.53). IOP declined by 2.6 (SD 4.0) mmHg in the PEX group (p < 0.001) and 1.9 (SD 3.5) mmHg in the control group (p < 0.001) from baseline to the re-examination, with a non-significant group difference (p = 0.310). IOP spike (≥6 mmHg increase) was significantly associated with the glaucoma parameter, both within the PEX (p = 0.034) and the control group (p = 0.044). CONCLUSION The number of newly diagnosed glaucoma cases was lower than expected 6-7 years following cataract extraction, especially in the PEX group, which indicates that PEX eyes benefit particularly from cataract surgery in terms of IOP and glaucoma development.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the 1-day postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) check following routine uncomplicated phacoemulsification is necessary in patients with pre-existing glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT), if acetazolamide prophylaxis is used. To investigate the practice of U.K. glaucoma specialists in IOP rise prophylaxis and follow-up regimes. PATIENTS AND METHODS The IOP 1-day postoperatively was analysed against the last recorded IOP before phacoemulsification in a cohort of patients with glaucoma or OHT who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery between December 2009 and September 2012, where it was routine practice to give acetazolamide postoperatively. U.K. and Eire Glaucoma Society members were surveyed via an online questionnaire to analyse practice among U.K. glaucoma specialists. RESULTS One hundred and seven eyes were studied: 99 with glaucoma and 8 with OHT. The mean IOP change was -0.8 mm Hg with only two eyes measuring >30 mm Hg postoperatively (2%). Both these eyes received 750 mg acetazolamide. Eighteen (17%) eyes had an IOP rise of at least 30%. In the survey of practice there were 65 respondents. Twenty-one (32%) respondents did not use IOP prophylaxis. Only 17 (26%) of respondents routinely reviewed their patients 1-day postoperatively. CONCLUSION Our prophylactic acetazolamide regime does not completely eliminate the risk of an IOP >30 mm Hg on day 1 post routine phacoemulsification in glaucoma/OHT patients. Patients with pre-existing glaucoma, despite acetazolamide prophylaxis, will require IOP management decisions on the first postoperative day after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery. U.K. expert practice is non-uniform with regard to IOP prophylaxis, and the 1-day review, and further discussion and formulation of consensus appears necessary.

Abstract
UNLABELLED REVIEẂS AIM: When a phacoemulsification, a filtration surgery or a combined surgery are necessary, questions about the convenience of continuing certain antiglaucomatous drugs could appear. The aim of this review article is to unify criteria that will guide daily clinical practice and including the developing algorithms of action in the preoperative and postoperative periods of filtration surgery and/or cataract surgery. PROPOSED PROTOCOLS In the preoperative period of cataract surgery, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is at the discretion of the surgeon, with the monodose presentation being recommended. The suspension of prostaglandines a fewdays before the surgery should be considered. Preservative-free drugs ensure a better recovery of the ocular surface (OS) after cataract surgery. Once all modifying factors of the intraocular pressure (IOP) have been removed, baseline IOP should be evaluated again, choosing preservative-free antiglaucomatous drugs when needed. The use of preservative-free ocular antihypertensive drugs and steroids in the preoperative period of glaucoma surgery reduces the risk of surgical failure. The interruption of prostaglandines is recommended. In the postoperative period of glaucoma surgery, steroids are the anti-inflammatory treatment of choice, the preservative-free ones being preferred. When reintroducing antiglaucomatous treatment, preservatives should be avoided to prevent scarring. The appropriate perioperative management of patients with glaucoma is essential to obtain a correct control of IOP, improve the situation of the OS, prevent complications and improve the result of the filtration surgery and cataract surgery. CONCLUSIONS this protocol aims to unify the different lines of action in order to decrease the incidence of adverse events and maximize the surgical outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to determine the safety of substituting the first day post-operative review after routine cataract surgery (phacoemulsification) with a telephone survey. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Prospective non-randomised cohort study. A standardised questionnaire of five common ocular symptoms (general condition, vision, eye pain, headache, nausea or vomiting) was administered by a trained nurse on the first post-operative day. The patients were reviewed in clinic two to 14 days later. Patient charts were retrospectively reviewed for complications (endophthalmitis, raised intra-ocular pressure, wound leaks and uveitis) requiring deviation from standard treatment. FINDINGS Over 13 months, 256 eyes of 238 patients underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification by four consultant surgeons. Only one patient reported poor general condition, blurred vision and eye pain. She was subsequently found to have corneal oedema and raised intra-ocular pressure when recalled for an earlier review. Best corrected visual acuity better than 20/40 was achieved in 80.5 per cent of patients. There were no other post-operative complications noted from medical records review. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS Non-randomised nature, skewed surgical expertise, lack of a control group and patient experience data. In all, 22 patients (9.2 per cent) were also uncontactable for the telephone interview. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS A nurse-administered telephone survey seemed to be a safe and effective alternative to first day post-operative review after routine phacoemulsification. The survey also enabled the detection of serious post-operative complications. The first day post-operative hospital visit may be safely substituted in a selected patient population with greater patient convenience achieved and liberation of clinic resources. ORIGINALITY/VALUE This is the first study which utilises a standardised questionnaire as a form of post-operative review in an Asian population.

Abstract
Background. Optic disk hemorrhage is known to be a risk factor for glaucoma progression. Cataract surgery by phacoemulsification results in large intraocular pressure fluctuations. We aim to investigate whether phacoemulsification is associated with optic disc hemorrhage in patients with glaucoma. Methods. This is a retrospective review of consecutive university clinic based glaucoma patients undergoing phacoemulsification alone, with at least 3 visits in the year before and at least 5 visits in the year following phacoemulsification. The presence of optic disk hemorrhage was evaluated with slit lamp biomicroscopy at each clinic visit prior to and following phacoemulsification. Results. We evaluated 158 eyes of 158 subjects; 15 (9.5%) had ODH noted at least once during the 2-year study period. Four eyes had ODH identified on postoperative day 1, for a cross-sectional prevalence of 2.5%. Fourteen ODH episodes were noted preoperatively versus 12 episodes postoperatively (P = 0.68). Aspirin use was associated with ODH (P = 0.015). Conclusions. Our cross-sectional study found a prevalence of ODH immediately after CE that was similar to other published rates, and our longitudinal study did not find an increase in ODH in the year after phacoemulsification when compared to the year prior to surgery.

Abstract
Purpose To discuss the reasons for and measurements of early ocular hypertension after uneventful phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods This was a retrospective review of patients who had early ocular hypertension after cataract surgery from a single-surgeon practice that medications failed to control or required additional surgery from September 2011 to January 2013. Results Of the 1270 eyes that had cataract surgery by one surgeon in our department in 16 months, 12 (9.4‰) eyes of 12 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) peak was 41 (range 32-62) mm Hg. The median time of initial onset after cataract surgery was 3.5 days (range 1-60 days). Six eyes had antiglaucoma surgery history. Ahmed valve implantation with mitomycin C (MMC) was applied to 4 eyes. Two eyes underwent 5-fluorouracil needling revision with MMC. The IOP dropped in 3 eyes only in the case that the conventional topical corticosteroid agent was stopped, diagnosed as steroid responders. One eye of a patient with diabetes mellitus (DM) developed pseudophakic pupillary block angle-closure glaucoma due to the plasma glucose fluctuations. The IOP was controlled after Nd:YAG laser iridotomies. Residual cortex caused ocular hypertension in 2 eyes and surgical aspirations were performed. Following monitoring of IOP for 6 to 24 months, all eyes were within the normal range. Conclusions Patients with history of glaucoma surgery; high myopia, especially in young age; and DM merit particular observation and treatment for possible IOP elevation following cataract surgery.

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation versus phacoemulsification with PCIOL implantation in otherwise normal cataract patients in India. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, King George's Medical College, Lucknow between August 2000 and August 2001. One hundred and seventeen eyes of 115 patients were included in the study. 84 patients were randomly selected for ECCE with PCIOL implantation (ECCE group) and 31 patients were selected for phacoemulsification with PCIOL implantation (Phaco group). IOP was measured pre-operatively and post-operatively, from the 1st month to the 12th month. Statistical significance was indicated by P > 0.05. Results: There was a mean fall in IOP of 2.70 mm Hg (19.74%) in the ECCE group and 2.74 mm Hg (20.57%) in the phaco group. The decrease in the mean post-operative IOP from baseline was statistically significant (P > 0.01) at the end of 2 months in both groups. There was no statistically significant difference in post-operative IOP at any visit between groups (P < 0.05, all post-operative visits). After 4th monthpost-operatively, the IOP was mostly stable, but it was significantly lower than the pre-operative IOP. Conclusion: Significant IOP reduction may be expected after cataract surgery with either ECCE or phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. The lowering of IOP became statistically significant at about 2 months post-operatively, but became almost stable after the 4th month.

Abstract
Purpose: This study was designed to analyze the risk factors resulting in high intraocular pressure (IOP), which was accepted as IOP higher than 22 mmHg, following uncomplicated phacoemulsification. Materials and Methods: The records of 812 eyes of 584 patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification were evaluated. There were 330 men and 254 women ranging between the age of 26 and 89 years (65.4 ± 9.8 years). The preoperative, postoperative first day (day 1), first week (day 7), and first month (day 30) IOP values were analyzed. Data on history of diabetes, glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation (PXF), incision site, capsular staining with trypan blue, and surgeon were recorded. A multinomial regression analysis was performed to analyse the relationship of the factors with postoperative high IOP. Results: The mean IOP was 15.6 ± 4.3 mmHg preoperatively. Postoperatively that were changed to 19.7 ± 9.0 mmHg at day 1, 12.7 ± 4.5 mmHg at day 7, and 12.8 ± 3.7 mmHg at day 30. The factors such as surgeon, presence of PXF, diabetes, surgical incision site, and trypan blue were not related to the postoperative high IOP (P > 0.05, in all). The only factor that related to high IOP at all visits was glaucoma (P < 0.005). Conclusion: According to our results, preoperative diagnosis of glaucoma seems to be the only factor to affect the postoperative IOP higher than 22 mmHg.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) changes after phacoemulsification in glaucoma and normal patients and the effect of oral acetazolamide (Diamox) to control IOP in these patients. METHODS 120 patients undergoing cataract surgery were included in this prospective multicenter study involving 6 University Eye Clinics: 60 patients with well-controlled primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 60 controls. Half of the study participants received oral acetazolamide, 250 mg, 1 and 6 h after surgery. The treated and untreated groups were matched for age and density of cataract. All patients underwent a standard phacoemulsification procedure and were checked for IOP with Goldmann tonometry in the morning before surgery and then at 3, 6, 21 and 24 h postoperatively by a masked evaluator. RESULTS The group with POAG showed a significant postsurgical increase in IOP (p < 0.001) at all time points. Six of thirty (20%) untreated POAG patients showed at least 1 IOP reading above 30 mm Hg whereas acetazolamide significantly reduced postoperative IOP at all time points (p < 0.01) and in no case was IOP >30 mm Hg. The control group had high IOP during the first 6 h (p < 0.01), but normal values thereafter. CONCLUSION A significant short-term IOP increase may be found after phacoemulsification both in POAG and normal patients; this is not dangerous in normal subjects, but can be potentially dangerous in POAG patients. The use of systemic acetazolamide provided significant control of IOP and could be considered a 'possible standard' management of cataract surgery in POAG patients.
