Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed procedures in the United States, and cataracts are a leading cause of visual impairment in the world. Glaucoma is also a very common eye disease with an expected 3.3 million Americans afflicted with primary open angle glaucoma by 2020. It is also a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The coexistence of these two diseases is not uncommon, and how a cataract is approached can have an impact on the glaucoma status of a patient. After all, cataracts are rarely associated with permanent blindness as is glaucoma. Managing cataracts to the best advantage of the glaucoma should result in the best long-term visual outcomes for our patients with both diseases.
While detailed instruction on cataract surgery is reviewed in other texts, Cataract Surgery in the Glaucoma Patient by Sandra M. Johnson serves to focus on the management of cataract in the setting of glaucoma, using an evidence-based medicine approach. It is hoped to serve as a wonderful resource for ophthalmologists, residents, and glaucoma fellows.
