Lens in Primary Congenital Glaucoma Eyes Treated by Combined Angle and Filtering Surgery

Conclusions: Changes in the natural crystalline lens clarity and/or position occurred in 8.8% (54 of 613) of PCG eyes operated by combined angle-filtering surgery with antimetabolites. Lens extraction was a relatively safe procedure with only 15% (4 of 26) of eyes suffering an elevation of IOP after lens extraction.
