Combined cataract-glaucoma operation and its complications with the 7-S-intraocular lens.

The new generation of intraocular lenses placed in the sulcus or in the bag allows implantation even in glaucoma patients under certain conditions. Patients with intraocular pressure between 25 and 30 mm Hg underwent Argon laser trabeculoplasty before implantation. In patients with regulated intraocular pressure between 15 and 20 mm Hg not even an iridectomy was performed implanting the 7-S posterior chamber lens. An average degree of the intraocular pressure of 1.5 mm Hg was found after 6 months. Preoperative endothelial cell counting facilitates the indication for implanting an intraocular lens.
