Background/Aims: To evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) after phacoemulsification in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients with uncontrolled or marginally controlled glaucoma and/or severe visual field (VF) loss.Patients and Methods: Retrospective case series of OAG patients without prior glaucoma surgery undergoing phacoemulsification. Uncontrolled or marginally controlled glaucoma was defined as IOP > 21 mm Hg despite maximally tolerated medications or requiring > 3 topical drugs for IOP control. Severe VF loss was defined as VF mean deviation = 3 mm Hg, whereas 14 eyes (31.1%) had decrease of >= 3 mm Hg. Nine eyes (20.0%) had higher IOP without medication changes and 9 eyes (20.0%) required additional medications or surgery for IOP control; 3 eyes (6.7%) required trabeculectomy. Higher IOP at 1 year was associated with IOP elevation >= 10 mm Hg at postoperative week 1 (P=0.020).Conclusions: Phacoemulsification resulted in nonsignificant 1-year IOP change in OAG patients with uncontrolled or marginally controlled glaucoma and/or with severe VF loss. Although 40% of eyes had higher IOP after phacoemulsification at 1-year postoperatively, only 6.7% required trabeculectomy.
