Cataract and glaucoma are common co morbidities. Cataract surgery is frequently performed in patients with glaucoma. In this study, a review of literature with search terms of cataract, glaucoma and intraocular pressure is followed by evaluation and synthesis of data to determine the effect of cataract surgery on intraocular pressure. Cataract surgery seems to lower intraocular pressure on a sustained basis, especially in patients with higher preoperative intraocular pressure. The mechanism of action of these finds remains speculative.
白内障和青光眼是常见的共发病。白内障手术经常在青光眼患者中进行。在本研究中,通过使用白内障、青光眼和眼压等检索词对文献进行综述,随后对数据进行评估和综合,以确定白内障手术对眼压的影响。白内障手术似乎能持续降低眼压,尤其是术前眼压较高的患者。这些发现的作用机制仍属推测。
