Abstract :
Aims : 1) To find out the incidence of lens induced glaucoma (LIG). 2) To assess the various modes of presentation of lens induced glauacoma. Materials and Methods: A total of 51 cases of LIG were included in this study. A detailed history and thorough ocular examination including visual acuity, slit lamp examination, tonometry , gonioscopy, fundoscopy and biomicroscopy were done. Results and Observations: Incidence of LIG was found to be 0.15%. Phacomorphic glaucoma was 58.86% followed by Phacolytic glaucoma 33.33%, lens particle glaucoma 5.82% and 3.92% of glaucoma secondary to lens dislocation. Conclusion:LIG is an important vision threatening complication of cataract,so early diagnosis and treatment of mature cataract is very important to reduce the incidence of LIG as well as delayed treatment of LIG may result in poor visual outcome.
