Do posterior chamber lens implantation combined with pars plana vitrectomy?
Combining cataract extraction with posterior chamber IOL implantation and vitrectomy in one procedure may be indicated, especially if there is traumatic rupture of the lens capsule.
Our results suggest that novel genetic variants and genes with multiple, less common variants may play a role in the control of IOP. The implication of the caveolin genes, CAV1/CAV2, as a common genetic factor influencing both IOP variations and POAG may provide new insights of the underlying mechanism leading to glaucoma and glaucomatous visual field loss.
