TIMELY REFRACTIVE LANCESECTOMY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A PROPHYLACTIC TREATMENT FOR OPENCLOSURE GLAUCOMA IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE CYSTS OF THE IRIDOCILIARY PROCESSES

This article presents a clinical case of bilateral ophthalmic hypertensin a patient at the presbyopic age with cysts of iridocyliary processes. A bilateral lentectomy was carried out with the implant of multifocal IOLs for refractive purposes. To evaluate the clinico-functional performance of the treatment, an ultrasound biopsy of the anterior segment of the eye was performed and a hydrodynamic assessment was carried out before and after the operation. The remote results of the treatment allow to conclude that timely extraction of native lens can significantly reduce the risk of open-closure glaucoma in patients with cysts of iridocyliary processes.
