Morphological changes in the iridocorneal angle and their relationship with intraocular pressure after infantile cataract surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To evaluate morphological changes in the iridocorneal angle after pediatric cataract surgery.

Methods

Children who underwent primary infantile cataract surgery were included and 64 eyes from 41 children, including 18 with unilateral cataracts (18 eyes) and 23 with bilateral cataracts (46 eyes) were examined. All patients underwent two gonioscopic examinations to evaluate the iridocorneal angle, before the primary lens removal and before the secondary intraocular lens implantation. The anatomical changes in the iridocorneal angle and the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and iridocorneal angle changes were also analyzed.

Results

The iridocorneal angle was wide in 64 eyes before and after surgery. The trabecular meshwork pigmentation, number of iris pr
