Abstract
Lens induced glaucoma is one of the important cause of secondary glaucoma in our population. Retrospective
analysis of 40 cases of lens induced glaucoma presenting to Nepal Eye Hospital from January 2002 to December
2004 were analyzed to find the prevalence of sex, age, visual outcome, IOP control, and duration between
appearance of symptoms and surgical invention. Females out numbered male (55:45 percent). Phacomorphic
glaucoma was seen more than phacolytic type (65:35). Visual recovery was good in 45% cases (6/12-6/60) and
moderately fair in 30% cases (VA <6/60).
Preoperative IOP ranged from 24.0-59.0 mmHg. Postoperative IOP ranged from 14-22 mmHg. Duration between
symptoms and surgery was 1 week to 4 months.
