[Glaucoma-related adverse events and their associated factors after cataract surgery in congenital cataracts: a review and update].

ABSTRACT

Congenital cataract is one of the main causes of blindness in children. Glaucoma-related adverse event (GRAE) is a serious complication of congenital cataract extraction. Its occult onset can cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve, its related factors are, however, not clear. In recent years, with the deepening of research, we have a more comprehensive understanding of the risk factors of glaucoma-related adverse events. This paper summarizes in detail the impact of its risk factors ocular anatomical features, surgical design, other ocular and systemic diseases on GRAE, and systematically summarizes its diagnostic criteria, treatment and prognosis, in order to provide a comprehensive reference of research-related factors affecting GRAE after cataract surgery and indication for the vacancy in scientific research and to establish a prediction model for the incidence of postoperative GRAE based on the analysis of influencing factors, and precisely predict the prognosis of children after surgery cataract in clinical aspect.
