Effect of Phacoemulsification on Intraocular Pressure in Healthy Subjects and Glaucoma Patients.

Conclusion: Phacoemulsification resulted in IOP reduction, which effect regressed in healthy subjects and glaucoma patients over the course of long-term follow up. Therefore, long-term monitoring of IOP change is needed. In cases of higher preoperative IOP and young patients, phacoemulsification alone is a reliable option for IOP control.
