Summary: Glaucoma and cataract are the leading causes of blindness in the world. Unfortunately glaucomatous optic nerve damage results in permanent vision loss. In some cases cataract progression may induce secondary glaucoma – phacolytic glaucoma if we have mature or hypermature cataract. Also other types of lens-induced glaucomas cause variety of severe and acute symptoms with significant decrease in visual acuity. The definite method of phacolytic glaucoma’ treatment, after intraocular pressure normalization on topical therapy is cataract surgery. In this paper we describe symptoms of phacolytic glaucoma, differential diagnoses and methods of successful treatment of this condition.

Keywords: phacolytic glaucoma, mature cataract, Morgagnian cataract, phacomorphic glaucoma, lens-induced glaucomas.
