A group of surgeons from Los Angeles, Seoul, South Korea and Milan said that, though cataract surgery tends to lower patients’ intraocular pressure, it doesn’t seem to have a similar beneficial effect on glaucoma patients’ visual field progression postop. In the study, consecutive open-angle glaucoma patients who underwent cataract surgery and who had at least four visual field tests and at least three years of follow-up before and after surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Mean deviation (MD) rate, visual field index (VFI) rate, pointwise linear regression (PLR), pointwise rate of change (PRC), and the Glaucoma Rate Index (GRI) were compared before and after cataract surgery.
