MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomised clinical trial on all cases of phacolytic and phacomorphic glaucoma seen in Coimbatore Medical College Hospital between January to December 2004. RESULTS In this study, males and females had equal prevalence. Out of 50, left eye was affected in 31 cases. Majority were phacolytic and phacomorphic glaucoma. The aqueous protein level was found to be high in lens-induced glaucoma. CONCLUSION Final visual recovery in lens-induced glaucoma is dependent on duration of glaucoma.
