IOP and Ocular Biometrics Changes After Phacoemulsification in Glaucoma Patients and Controls

NCT04334473 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 37

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Effect of phacoemulsification on intraocular pressure has been studied with variable results.Furthermore, effect of phacoemulsification on ocular biometrics including anterior chamber depth and angle opening distance has also been studied. In our study we aim at establishing a quantitative relationship between preoperative ocular biometrics and postoperative intraocular pressure change and comparing this relationship in glaucomatous and non-glaucomatous eyes.
