Glaucoma after IOL implantation

I have been told I'm at increased risk for developing glaucoma in the future due to heavy pigmentation in my eyes.  My introcular pressure is currently in the normal range and I currently have no signs of glaucoma.

I'm going to have cataract surgery in a couple of weeks.  In the event I do develop glaucoma in the future, could the IOL implants be an issue for me?

No, cataract surgery generally LOWERS the IOP and helps glaucoma. Good luck.

That's good news.  Thanks, Dr. Hagan, for your reply.
