[Research updates on glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery].

Postoperative glaucoma is one of the most common complications after congenital cataract surgery and an important cause of unsatisfactory long-term visual acuity rehabilitation. Recently, the diagnostic criteria of glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery have been gradually complemented; the measurement of intraocular pressure is improved and the follow-up is standardized. The risk factors of glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery include age at surgery, ocular abnormalities and central corneal thickness, some of which still remain controversial. The main treatment of postoperative glaucoma is surgery, while some patients need adjuvant medications in addition to surgery. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2017, 53: 863-867).
