Abstract
Lens induced glaucomas are a common occurrence in rural areas of India. Early diagnosis and treatment
of mature cataract is very important since delayed treatment of lens-induced glaucoma may result in poor
visual outcome. An attempt was made to study the pattern and visual outcome in LIG cases attending the
Department of Ophthalmology at Government Medical College, Jammu. A total of 25 patients with a
diagnosis of LIG were analyzed. Out of these 15(60%) patients had phacomorphic and 10(40%) had
phacolytic glaucoma respectively. All the patients were subjected to ECCE with PC IOL implantation.
Postoperative BCVA upto 6/12 was achieved in 6(24%) and upto 6/60 in 16(64%) patients. Only three
patients showed poor visual outcome. However, all the patients maintained postoperative IOP of < 20mm
Hg without any additional antiglaucoma therapy.
