Risk of aphakic glaucoma after pars plana-lensectomy with and without removal of the peripheral lens capsule
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Eye"
DOI: 10.1038/s41433-019-0435-x
Abstract: BackgroundThe etiology of aphakic glaucoma is unclear. It has been suggested that remaining lens epithelium releases cytokines transducing trabecular meshwork cells. Therefore, we compared two cohorts of children undergoing lensectomy. In cohort 1, the entire… read more here.
