A prospective study was performed to evaluate the changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after clear corneal phacoemulsification in normal patients. The mean preoperative IOP of 30 patients was compared with the IOP at 1, 2, 3, and 5 months postoperatively. Lens extraction was associated with a reduction of IOP of 3.36 mmHg (SD +/- 2.33--p = 0.005) after 5 months.
