Abstract

Purpose: To look into the magnitude and pattern of visual profile of patients present with varieties of secondary lens induced glaucoma. Methods: retrospective hospital based analysis of patients attending rural Indian eye hospital over 36 months (April 2017-May 2020) was done.Results: Out of 224 Secondary Glaucoma cases 158 were phocolytic (70.5%) and 66 were phacomorphic (29.4%) in nature. Lens induced glaucoma comprised of 0.17% of total out patient, and Secondary Open Angle(SOA) and Secondary Close Angle(SCA) comprised of 1.63% and 0.68% of total glaucoma patients attended the hospital respectively. Mean presenting visual acuity for SOA was 1.16 logmar and 2.24 logmar for SCA. Mean IOP was 35.9 mm of Hg and 40.7 mm of Hg for SOA and SCA respectively. Conclusion: In spite of lower number of Secondary Lens induced Glaucoma patients, management strategy of those patients should be prompt and effective considering their presenting vision
