Objective: To evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification in the patients with uveitis, secondary glaucoma and complicated cataract.

Methods: Phacoemulsification and implantation of a foldable intraoucular len was performed in 12 patients(13 eyes) with uveitis, secondary glaucoma and complicated cataract. The complications, intraocular pressures (IOP), and visual acuity were observed postoperatively.

Results: No severe complication was found in the patients postoperatively or within the operation procedure. The visual acuity was improved after the operation (P < 0.05). The intraocular pressures and/or the number of antiglaucoma medications reduced in 3 months of the follow-up time.

Conclusions: Phacoemulsification is the best way to treat the patients with secondary glaucoma and complicated cataract caused by uveitis.
