Purpose:To report the incidence of glaucoma following pediatric cataract surgery. Cases:Cataract surgery was performed on 27 eyes of 18 infants and children during 24 years through 2003. The age at the time of surgery ranged from 3 months to 15 years,average 7.4 years. Nine eyes became aphakic and 18 eyes became pseudophakic. Results:Glaucoma developed in 6 aphakic eyes(67%). One eye developed ocular hypertension on day 2 of surgery due to pupillary block. In the other 5 eyes,glaucoma developed after an average of 15.3±2.0 years. Glaucoma was presumably due to residual lens cortex,peripheral anterior synechia,or surgical technique. Out of 18 pseudophakic eyes,ocular hypertension developed in 2 eyes(11%)of one patient operated for atopic cataract. Conclusion:There is a high risk of glaucoma after cataract surgery in infants and children. This possibility would require a long-term follow-up regardless of intraocular lens implantation.
