Abstract
Intraocular pressure reduction after phacoemulsification cataract surgery in nonglaucomatous eyes is significantly greater in more anteriorly positioned lenses. Though it did not reach statistical significance in patients with glaucoma, the association of LP with IOP reduction is in the same direction as in nonglaucomatous patients where smaller LP appears to predict greater IOP reduction. Lens position is a simple, easily calculable, accurate, and widely available parameter, which clinicians can potentially utilize in managing glaucoma.
