Effects of intraocular pressure change on intraocular lens power calculation in primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0304169. [PMID: 38857282 PMCID: PMC11164340 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0304169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effect of intraocular pressure (IOP) changes on biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT). This prospective non-randomized cohort study enrolled patients with diagnosed POAG and OHT, presenting with IOP levels exceeding 25 mmHg. Thai Clinical Trials Registry number was TCTR20180912007. Optical biometry, encompassing measurements such as corneal thickness (CCT), keratometry, anterior chamber depth (ACD), and axial length, was conducted before and after IOP reduction. The IOL power was also determined using the SRK/T formula. The main outcomes measured were alterations in biometry and IOL power. Correlations between IOP, biometric parameters, and IOL power were analyzed. In total, 28 eyes were included in the study, with a mean patient age of 65.71±10.2 years. After IOP reduction, all biometric parameters, except CCT and ACD, exhibited a decrease without reaching statistical significance (all p>0.05). Meanwhile, IOL power showed a slight increase of 0.214±0.42 diopters (P = 0.035). The correlation between IOP and biometric parameters was found to be weak. However, there was a moderate correlation between IOP and IOL power (r2 = 0.267). Notably, IOL power tended to increase by more than 0.5 diopters when IOP decreased by more than 10 mmHg (p < 0.001). In conclusion, changes in IOP among patients with POAG and OHT do not significantly impact biometry and IOL power calculations. Nonetheless, it may be prudent to consider a slight adjustment in IOL power when IOP is lowered by more than 10 mmHg.

Perera DC, Libre PE. Reversal of severe myopia by 24 years of hypotony with subsequent stable refraction after 2 years of normal intraocular pressure. Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep 2024; 33:101989. [PMID: 38292884 PMCID: PMC10824682 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajoc.2023.101989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To report sustained axial length shortening and hyperopic shift (refraction changed from -8 to -2 diopters) induced by 24 years of profound IOP (intraocular pressure) reduction with subsequent refractive stability 2 years after IOP rose to 11-17 mm Hg. Observations A 25-year-old woman with elevated episcleral venous pressure glaucoma underwent non-penetrating trabeculectomy and subsequent laser goniopuncture in her left eye. She had chronically low IOP (1-12 mm Hg) for the next 24 years. Hypotony maculopathy was present in postoperative years 13-14 and 18-24 but resolved at age 49 when emesis-induced iris prolapse obstructed the filtering passage and transiently raised IOP to 40. Medical management and iridectomy with flap suturing stabilized IOP between 11 and 17 mm Hg.Refraction before OS trabeculectomy was OD -7.50/OS -9.00. In postoperative year 24 spherical equivalent phakic refraction was OD -9.00/OS -1.50. Biometry 1 year after resolution of hypotony showed axial lengths OD 24.8, OS 22.6 mm. Cataract surgery was performed in postoperative years 24/26 (OD/OS) with Tecnis DCBOO intraocular lenses of powers 14.0/21.5 diopters; postoperative refractions, 2 years after OS IOP rose to 11-17 mm Hg, were OD +0.25-0.50 x 015/OS -0.75-1.25 x 160 with 20/25 corrected acuity in each eye.Cardiovascular symptoms 24 years after the onset of her glaucoma led to a diagnosis of severe pulmonary hypertension. Conclusions and importance This case demonstrates that 2 decades of chronic IOP reduction can reverse myopia (by > 2 mm reduction in axial length) with subsequent refractive stability 2 years after IOP normalization. In addition, the case shows that ocular signs of pulmonary hypertension may precede cardiovascular signs by 2 decades.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2023; 64:30. [PMID: 37256608 PMCID: PMC10233313 DOI: 10.1167/iovs.64.5.30] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To determine if the optic nerve head (ONH) response to transient elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) can predict the extent of neural loss in the nonhuman primate experimental glaucoma model. Methods The anterior chamber pressure of 21 healthy animals (5.4 ± 1.2 years, 8 female) was adjusted to 25 mm Hg for two hours followed by 10 mm Hg for an additional two hours. For the duration of IOP challenge the ONH was imaged using radial optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans at five-minute intervals. Afterward, a randomized sample of 14 of these subjects had unilateral experimental glaucoma induced and were monitored with OCT imaging, tonometry, and ocular biometry at two-week intervals. Results With pressure challenge, the maximum decrease in ONH minimum rim width (MRW) was 40 ± 10.5 µm at 25 mm Hg and was correlated with the precannulation MRW, Bruch's membrane opening (BMO) position, and the anterior lamina cribrosa surface position (P = 0.01). The maximum return of MRW at 10 mm Hg was 16.1 ± 5.0 µm and was not associated with any precannulation ONH feature (P = 0.24). However, healthy eyes with greater thickness return at 10 mm Hg had greater loss of MRW and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) at a cumulative IOP of 1000 mm Hg · days after induction of experimental glaucoma. In addition, MRW and RNFL thinning was correlated with an increase in axial length (P < 0.01). Conclusion This study's findings suggest that the ONH's response to transient changes in IOP are associated with features of the ONH and surrounding tissues. The neural rim properties at baseline and the extent of axial elongation are associated with the severity of glaucomatous loss in the nonhuman primate model.

Abstract
AIM To report the postoperative axial length (AL) changes in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment combined with choroidal detachment (RRD-CD) patients. METHODS The medical records of 97 consecutive patients from January 2015 to December 2018 were reviewed. Patients included were divided into RRD-CD and RRD only groups. All patients had received AL measurements before pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and before silicone oil removal (SOR). The changes in AL of the two groups were compared. In addition, the potential factors related to AL changes were analyzed. RESULTS AL elongation after PPV was 1.01 mm [interquartile range (IQR): 0.37, 1.79; P=0.02] in the RRD-CD group, which was greater than in RRD only group (0.15 mm, IQR: 0.04, 0.41; P<0.001). AL increased 0.06 mm per 1 mm Hg intraocular pressure changes in the RRD-CD group (R 2=0.11, P=0.03). RRD-CD patient was 11.42 times (3.54-46.80) more likely to experience post-PPV AL elongation of more than 1 mm [P<0.001, Akaike information criterion (AIC)=92.33, area under the curve (AUC)=0.839]. CONCLUSION RRD-CD patients are very likely to have a postoperative elongation of AL. The primary intraoclular lens implantation using presurgery AL data may cause a significant refractive error in RRD-CD patients who underwent PPV.

Long-term effects of trabeculectomy in primary open-angle glaucoma on segmented macular ganglion cell complex alterations. Int Ophthalmol 2021; 41:2249-2263. [PMID: 33880684 DOI: 10.1007/s10792-021-01840-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to compare, using optical coherence tomography (OCT), the changes in the thickness of the macular nerve fiber layer (mNFL), macular ganglion cell layer (mGCL), macular inner plexiform layer (mIPL) and peripapillary global retinal nerve fiber layer (gRNFL) (in a span of 3 years) in surgically treated eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS The medical records of 32 consecutive POAG patients who underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C, between January 2013 and December 2014, were retrospectively reviewed. Pre- and postoperative measurements of IOP and OCT were analyzed 1, 2 and 3 years after the operation. RESULTS Among all patients, no significant changes in the thickness of the mNFL, mGCL or mIPL were found, with a significant reduction observed only in the IOP values and peripapillary gRNFL thickness during the 3-year postoperative period. In a subgroup analysis based on the preoperative peak IOPs (median value:41 mmHg), the thickness of the mNFL, mGCL and mIPL in the 3-year postoperative period increased significantly in the lower preoperative peak IOP group (IOP < 41 mmHg), whereas the macular OCT parameters in the 3-year postoperative period decreased in the higher preoperative peak IOP group. CONCLUSIONS Eyes exhibiting lesser preoperative peak IOP demonstrated greater preservation of the layer-by-layer segmented macular ganglion cell complex thickness as compared to eyes exhibiting greater preoperative peak IOP; also when the IOPs determined for the two groups in the period of follow-up were quite comparable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the refractive change and optical biometry dynamics after 25-gauge vitrectomy without gas tamponade for macular pathology in pseudophakic eyes. DESIGN A prospective observational case series. PARTICIPANTS Patients with pseudophakic eyes who were scheduled for vitrectomy owing to macular pathology by an experienced surgeon (T.S.) at the Hayashi Eye Hospital between March 2019 and February 2020. METHODS The primary endpoint was the change in manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE) between baseline (preoperatively) and 3 months postoperatively. The secondary endpoint was the change in optical biometry parameters obtained by swept-source optical coherence tomography-based biometers between baseline and 3 months postoperatively. Optical biometry parameters included corneal curvature and axial length, evaluated by the IOLMaster 700, and intraocular lens position-that is, lens decentration, lens tilt, and aqueous depth (AQD)-evaluated by the CASIA2. RESULTS Thirty-four eyes of 34 patients were enrolled. The mean MRSE values at baseline and 3 months postoperatively were -0.70 ± 1.21 diopter (D) and -0.82 ± 1.27 D, respectively, showing a significant myopic shift of -0.12 ± 0.41 D postoperatively (p = 0.043). There was no significant difference between the pre- and postoperative values of the optical biometry parameters, except for the AQD (4.28 ± 0.34 mm vs 4.27 ± 0.34 mm; p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that replacing the vitreous by the aqueous during vitrectomy induces an average myopic shift of -0.12 D.

Could anatomical changes occurring with cataract surgery have a clinically significant effect on effective intraocular lens position? Int Ophthalmol 2021; 41:1895-1907. [PMID: 33604774 DOI: 10.1007/s10792-021-01751-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess if the calculation of the effective lens position (ELP) of two different monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) could be optimized by considering the potential anatomical changes occurring after cataract surgery. METHODS Prospective, descriptive, single-center study involving 472 eyes of 280 subjects (mean age 73.5 years) undergoing cataract surgery that were divided into two groups according to the IOL implanted: group 1330 eyes with AcrySof IQ SN60WF (Alcon), and group 2142 eyes with Akreos MI60L (Bausch + Lomb). Refractive and biometric changes were evaluated during a period of 6-month follow-up with an optical biometer (considering potential measurement artifacts). Comparison of ELP estimated with the SRK-T formula (ELPSRK-T) and ELP calculated considering clinical real data was made (ELPAXL-corrected clinical). RESULTS Besides significant changes in refraction (p ≤ 0.020), a significant increase in anterior chamber depth (ACD) (p < 0.001) and a significant reduction in the axial length (AXL) (p < 0.001) were detected at 1 month after surgery. Mean 1-month postoperative AXL change was - 0.08 ± 0.06 and - 0.10 ± 0.11 mm in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.001), with no significant changes afterward. Mean difference between ELPSRK-T and ELPAXL-corrected clinical was 0.17 ± 0.39 and - 0.23 ± 0.43 mm in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p < 0.001). A strong and statistically significant correlation of these differences with the prediction refractive error was found in both groups (group 1, r = - 0.723; group 2, r = - 0.819; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The estimation of ELP using the SRK-T formula for the two IOLs evaluated may be optimized considering biometric changes with surgery, helping to understand better some problems of refractive unpredictability.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate if decrease of IOP affects the volumetric blood flow rate in the ophthalmic artery (OA) in patients with previously untreated ocular hypertension. Methods Subjects with untreated ocular hypertension (n = 30; mean age 67 ± 8 years; 14 females) underwent ophthalmologic examination and a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging investigation. The magnetic resonance imaging included three-dimensional high-resolution phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging to measure the OA blood flow rate. The subjects received latanoprost once daily in the eye with higher pressure, the untreated eye served as control. The same measurements were repeated approximately 1 week later. Results The mean OA blood flow rate before and after treatment was 12.4 ± 4.4 and 12.4 ± 4.6 mL/min in the treated eye (mean ± SD; P = 0.92) and 13.5 ± 5.2 and 13.4 ± 4.1 mL/min in the control eye (P = 0.92). There was no significant difference between the treated and control eye regarding blood flow rate before (P = 0.13) or after treatment (P = 0.18), or change in blood flow rate after treatment (0.1 ± 3.1 vs. -0.1 ± 4.0 mL/min, P = 0.84). Latanoprost decreased the IOP by 7.2 ± 3.1 mm Hg in the treated eye (P < 0.01). Conclusions The results indicate that a significant lowering of IOP does not affect the blood flow rate of the OA in ocular hypertension subjects. The ability to maintain blood supply to the eye independent of the IOP could be a protective mechanism in preserving vision in subjects with ocular hypertension.

Abstract
Purpose The elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP), a major risk factor in glaucoma, is an important parameter tracked in experimental models of this disease. However, IOP measurement in laboratory rodents is challenging and may not correlate with some key pathological events that occur in the development of glaucoma. The aims of this study were to quantify changes in ocular morphology in DBA/2J mice that develop spontaneous, age-dependent, pigmentary glaucoma and to check the possible correlation of these parameters with IOP. Method Eye morphology was evaluated with MRI in DBA/2J, DBA/2J-Gpnmb+/SjJ, and C57BL/6J female mice ages 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 months. The animals were anesthetized with isoflurane. A planar receive-only surface coil (inner diameter = 10 mm) was placed over each animal’s left eye and the image was acquired with a 7T small animal-dedicated magnetic resonance tomograph and T2-weighted TurboRARE sequence. Ocular dimensions were manually quantitated using OsiriX software. IOP was measured with rebound tonometry. Results In the control animals, no age-related changes in the ocular morphology were noted. Since 6 months of age, the anterior chamber deepening and elongation of the eyeballs of DBA/2J mice was detectable. We found a significant, positive correlation between IOP and axial length, anterior chamber area, or anterior chamber width in C57BL/6J mice but not in DBA/2J mice. However, after excluding the measurements performed in the oldest DBA/2J mice (i.e. analyzing only the animals ages 3 to 12 months), we demonstrated a significant positive correlation between IOP and anterior chamber width. Conclusion High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the eye area in mice enables reproducible and consistent measures of key dimensions of the eyeball. We observed age-dependent alterations in the eye morphology of DBA/2J mice that mostly affected the anterior chamber. We also demonstrated a correlation between some of the ocular dimensions and the IOP of C57Bl/6J mice and DBA/2J mice with moderately advanced glaucomatous pathology.

Relationship between preoperative high intraocular pressure and retinal nerve fibre layer thinning after glaucoma surgery. Sci Rep 2019; 9:13901.

Abstract
Recent reports show varying results regarding peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness after intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering glaucoma surgery. We hypothesised that different levels of the preoperative IOP influence RNFL thickness. A total of 60 patients (60 eyes) with glaucoma, who underwent glaucoma surgery and had a stable postoperative mean IOP < 22 mmHg, were enrolled. The RNFL thickness was measured using spectral domain optical coherence tomography, before and at 3–6 months after surgery. The preoperative peak IOP, 37.4 ± 10.8 mmHg, decreased to a postoperative mean IOP of 14.8 ± 3.5 mmHg (p < 0.001). The average RNFL thickness was significantly reduced from 75.6 ± 17.7 μm to 70.2 ± 15.8 μm (p < 0.001). In subgroup analyses, only patients with a preoperative peak IOP ≥ median value (37 mmHg) exhibited significant RNFL thinning (9.7 ± 6.6 μm, p < 0.001) associated with a higher preoperative peak IOP (r = 0.475, p = 0.008). The RNFL thinning was evident for a few months after glaucoma surgery in patients with a higher preoperative peak IOP, although the postoperative IOP was stable.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate long-term (4.5 to 6 y) changes in the position of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) tubes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult patients aged 18 years and above, 1 to 2 months post-AGV implantation were enrolled. Tube position was evaluated using anterior segment optical coherence tomography at baseline and final follow-up. The intracameral tube length (ICL), tube-cornea (TC) distance, and cornea-tube angle were measured. Wilcoxon-signed rank test was used to assess whether the changes in parameters from baseline were significant. RESULTS In total, 11 eyes of 9 patients were included in the analysis. Mean duration of follow-up was 5.2±0.8 years (4.4 to 6.1 y). The ICL increased from 1.58±0.40 to 1.74±0.62 mm (P=0.18). The TC decreased from 0.36±0.12 to 0.29±0.05 mm (P=0.04). The cornea-tube angle decreased from 27.76±5.57 to 24.82±5.69 degrees (P=0.08). Overall, 73% of the tubes moved toward the cornea (mean 0.11 mm, over 4.4 to 6.1 y). In total, 73% showed an increase in ICL; 45% showed an increase of >0.3 mm [mean 0.50 mm (33%) increase]. Two of 11 tubes (18%) showed no significant change in the parameters (ICL, 0.03 and 0.01 mm increase; TC, 0 and 0.01 mm increase); these tubes were noted to lie on the iris. CONCLUSIONS Tubes tend to move toward the cornea over time. To avoid corneal damage and involvement of the visual axis in the future, tubes should be reasonably short and inserted tangentially, preferably in the posterior one third of the anterior chamber.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: To report the case of a high hyperopic refractive shift associated with significant shortening of the ocular axial length following glaucoma filtering surgery. METHODS: Case report. Patient's records were consulted retrospectively. RESULTS: A 57-year-old woman, highly myopic, with a history of bilateral intraocular refractive surgery in 1998 (phakic lens ZB5M) and bilensectomy in 2011 (phakic intraocular lens extraction plus cataract surgery with pseudophakic intraocular lens implantation), presented with consistently high intraocular pressure. Despite the treatment with different topical antiglaucomatous medications and good compliance, her intraocular pressure values remained consistently above 20 mmHg. In 2016, the patient was submitted for glaucoma filtering surgery and the mini shunt Ex-Press was implanted in both the eyes (3 months between surgeries). On the first postoperative day, the eyes were hypotonic (intraocular pressure of 5 mmHg) and bilateral macular edema was observed. Three days later, the intraocular pressure in both the eyes reached values higher than 6 mmHg (between 6 and 14 mmHg). Five months after the surgery the macular edema resolved and a significant shortening of the axial length and an important hyperopic refractive shift was observed. When comparing the preoperative and postoperative (18 months) measurements, the variation of the axial length was 2.49 mm in the right eye and 2.19 mm in the left eye; the patient refraction (spherical equivalent) shifted 2.50 diopters in the right eye and 1.75 diopters in the left eye. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, we report herein the first documented case of an axial length change of this magnitude after glaucoma filtering surgery.

Epiretinal membrane surgery: an analysis of 2-step sequential- or combined phacovitrectomy surgery on refraction and macular anatomy in a prospective trial. Acta Ophthalmol 2018; 96:243-250. [PMID: 28926197 DOI: 10.1111/aos.13572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2017] [Accepted: 07/30/2017] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the impact of combined phacoemulsification-vitrectomy and sequential surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) on refractive error (RE) and macular morphology. METHODS In this prospective clinical trial, we allocated phakic eyes with ERM to (1) cataract surgery and subsequent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (CAT group), (2) PPV and subsequent cataract surgery (VIT group) or (3) phaco-vitrectomy (COMBI group). Examinations were at baseline, one month after each surgery, and at 3 months and 12 months of follow-up. Primary outcome was the RE (the difference between predicted and achieved spherical equivalent); secondary outcomes were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and incidence of cystoid macular oedema (CME) defined as >10% increment of central subfield macular thickness (CSMT). RESULTS Sixty-two eyes were enrolled. The mean RE showed a small myopic shift of -0.36D in all groups 1 month after surgery, decreasing after 12 months to -0.17D. The absolute value of the RE (ARE) ranged 0.49-0.68D after 12 months. In the immediate postoperative period, there was a higher incidence of CME in the CAT group. There was no significant difference in final RE, ARE, BCVA and CSMT between the groups. Four cases (17%) in the CAT group had resolved visual complaints and improved BCVA after cataract surgery resulting in no need for PPV within the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Surgery for idiopathic ERM in phakic eyes with either phaco-vitrectomy or sequential surgery are equal approaches with respect to functional- (RE, BCVA) and anatomical outcomes (CME, CSMT). However, if starting with cataract surgery, 17% of the cases may not need subsequent PPV.

Intraocular Pressure, Axial Length, and Refractive Changes after Phacoemulsification and Trabeculectomy for Open-Angle Glaucoma. J Ophthalmol 2017; 2017:1203269. [PMID: 28660076 PMCID: PMC5474260 DOI: 10.1155/2017/1203269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2017] [Accepted: 04/30/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), axial eye length (AEL), and refractive outcome in primary open-angle glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery and trabeculectomy in dependence of the sequence of surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed 48 eyes. The changes in refraction, intraocular pressure, and axial eye length were analysed after surgery. In group A (21 subjects), phacoemulsification was performed before trabeculectomy, and in group B (27 subjects), trabeculectomy was performed before phacoemulsification with a minimum time span between interventions of 6 months. RESULTS The reduction in IOP and the decrease in AEL after trabeculectomy were significant after 6 and 12 months postsurgery (p < 0.001 each). The decrease in AEL was 0.42 ± 0.11% at 6 months after surgery and 0.40 ± 0.13% after 12 months from surgery; this decrease in AEL was comparable between the groups. The refractive outcome was significantly different between the groups (group A: 0.35 ± 0.75 dpt, group B: -0.05 ± 0.36 dpt, p = 0.018); in group A, trabeculectomy caused a hyperopic shift of 0.34 ± 0.44 dpt (p = 0.002) at 12 months postsurgery. CONCLUSION IOP reduction after trabeculectomy causes AEL shortening. The effect on refractive outcome depends on the sequence of surgeries. Better refractive outcome is achieved if phacoemulsification is performed after trabeculectomy.
