PURPOSE:
We reviewed the evidence regarding cataract incidence and progression after glaucoma surgery.
DESIGN:
Evidence-based review of available literature.
METHODS:
We performed a systematic review of relevant studies published in English.
RESULTS:
Reports of visually significant cataract after glaucoma surgery are supported by data from randomized clinical trials and large case series.
CONCLUSIONS:
Patients undergoing glaucoma surgery are at increased risk for the development and progression of cataract.
