Abstract


A cataract is clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye most cataract develops slowly over the course the time.
Cataract may be bilateral or unilateral. After obtaining permission from IEC the study was taken up. It is a cross sectional
study.Patients are examined for IOP preoperatively and postoperatively following cataract surgery in POAG and CACG
patient intraocular pressure in both primary open angle glaucoma and chronic angle closer glaucoma patients is
decreased. There is decrease in IOP more in CACG than POAG.
