N2 - We review new findings on the development of glaucoma following pediatric cataract surgery. Other recent findings, concerning inherited syndromes exhibiting cataract and glaucoma, the pseudoexfoliation syndrome, Fuchs' heterochromic iridocyclitis, and lens-induced glaucoma, are commented on. We discuss works on intraocular pressure elevations and secondary glaucoma following routine cataract surgery and neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser capsulotomy. The past year's studies of combined cataract and glaucoma filtering surgery are also reviewed, including small-incision technique results using foldable implants (phacotrabeculotomy) and preliminary results of using 5-fluorouracil as an adjunct to the combined procedure.
