Higher risk of glaucoma suspected in infants undergoing cataract surgery, says study ANI | Updated: Dec 20, 2020 13:55 IST
Maryland [US], December 20 (ANI): A study of the National Eye Institute (NEI) funded by Infant Aphakic Treatment discovered that cataract surgery may lead to increased eye pressure and optic nerve damage in infants.
The researchers of the study claimed that the children who undergo cataract removal have an increased risk of glaucoma, a sight-threatening condition that damages the optic nerve which is the connection between the eye and brain.
Michael F. Chiang, M.D., director of NEI said, These findings underscore the need for long-term glaucoma surveillance among infantcataract surgery patients. They also provide some measure of assurance that it is not necessary to place an intraocular lens at the time of cataract surgery.

Maryland [US], December 18 (ANI): The findings from the National Eye Institute (NEI)-funded Infant Aphakic Treatment Study, claims that infants who have undergone cataractsurgery are at a higher risk of glaucoma disease after ten years of operation.
Michael F. Chiang, M.D., director of NEI said, These findings underscore the need for long-term glaucoma surveillance among infantcataractsurgery patients. They also provide some measure of assurance that it is not necessary to place an intraocular lens at the time of cataractsurgery.
At the time of cataract removal, the 114 study participants (ages 1-6 months) had been born with a cataract in one eye. In the operating room, the infants were randomly assigned to receive an artificial lens implant or go without a lens, a condition called aphakia.
