Özet: Aims: To evaluate the visual outcome and to assess the intra ocular pressure control following cataract surgery in lens induced glaucoma. Materials and Methods: This is a hospital based prospective study of 48 patients attending and admitted in the Ophthalmology Department between June 2019-June2020. At presentation, visual acuity and IOP was recorded and post-operatively, the same parameters were evaluated after 1week and 1 month. Results: The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 6/12 or more was found in 60.42% cases, whereas visual acuity of less than 6/60 was seen in 12.50% cases, post-operatively at the end of 1month. BCVA of 6/12 or more was achieved in 95.23% (p<0.01) of cases with duration of symptoms less than 10days. The mean IOP was reduced from 37.92 ±10.87 mmHg (at presentation) to 14.7±2.9 mmHg (post-operatively,at the end of 1month). Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment is beneficial in LIG cases.
