Abstract
We reviewed the charts of 29 patients who underwent extracapsular cataract extraction after filtering surgery. Seven of these patients also had simultaneous implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens. All eyes were operated on using a temporal limbal approach. The median postoperative follow-up was 13 months. There was no statistically significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressures, but there tended to be an increase in the number of antiglaucoma medications administered postoperatively. None of these patients, however, required further surgery for intraocular pressure control.
