Kim JH, et al. - Researchers performed this retrospective cohort study of consecutive open-angle glaucoma patients who underwent cataract surgery in order to examine if cataract surgery slows the apparent rate of visual field (VF) decay in these patients compared with rates measured during cataract progression. Examining a total of 134 eyes of 99 patients, they noted improvement in all intraocular pressure parameters after cataract surgery, however, VFs continued to progress. The apparent rate of glaucomatous VF decay did not slow following cataract surgery compared to rates measured during the progression of the cataract.
