Aim-To investigate the effect of the lens on outflow facility in Korean patients with cataracts.Methods-Intraocular pressure measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry in 42 patients with cataracts and outflow facility was determined by tonography preoperatively, before and after instillation of pilocarpine. All patients received clear corneal phacoemulsification and silicone foldable intraocular lens implantation within the capsular bag by one surgeon. Two months after surgery, slit lamp examination and gonioscopy were performed and intraocular pressure and outflow facility were again determined. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Student's paired t test.Results-There were no anterior chamber reactions and no visible trabecular meshwork damage 2 months after surgery. Intraocular pressure 2 months after lens extraction decreased by a mean of 2.4 (SE 0.4) mm Hg (p
