Abstract
We describe nine patients who had phacomorphic or phacolytic glaucoma. After intraocular pressure (IOP) was reduced medically, all patients had extracapsular cataract extraction. All had intraocular lens implan tation except one. The surgery improved visual acuity and resulted in normal IOP in all eyes.
