Cataract surgery and rate of visual field progression in primary open-angle glaucoma

American Journal of Ophthalmology Feb 01, 2019

Kim JH, et al. - A total of 134 eyes were analyzed by the authors in this retrospective cohort study to assess the impact of cataract surgery on the apparent rate of visual field (VF) decay in primary open-angle glaucoma subjects compared with rates estimated during cataract progression. They noticed an improvement in all intraocular pressure (IOP) parameters like mean IOP, SD of IOP, and peak IOP after cataract surgery. They observed an accelerated VF decay rate as per the measurement of VF indices. Overall they reported that cataract surgery did not slow the apparent rate of glaucomatous VF decay in comparison with rates measured during the progression of the cataract.
