Summary. Glaucoma of aphakic and pseudophakic eyes refers to a type of secondary glaucoma. It is fairly common complication of early and late postoperative period in patients with cataract.

Purpose. To analyze an experience of follow up and the treatment of aphakic and pseudophakic glaucoma.

Materials and methods. Modern literature were learned and summarized.

Results and discussion. The paper presents the current view on the problem of secondary glaucoma on pseudophakia and aphakia or so-called pseudophakic and aphakic glaucoma. Analysis of modern data allowed the authors to demonstrate the basic mechanisms of the development of these types of glaucoma, presenting a rather detailed description of them. The paper outlines the basic approaches to the prevention before and during the operation, the treatment of the possible intraoperative complications.

Keywords: glaucoma, pseudophakia, aphakia, pathogenesis, prevention, treatment.
