Which type of senile cataract is notorious for glaucoma formation –
High-Yield Explanation
Both intumescent cataract and hypermature morgagnion cataract can cause glaucoma, although by different mechanism.
Intumescent cataract → causes phacomorphic glaucoma due to swelling of lens.
Hypermature morgagnion cataract → Phacolytic glaucoma due to leakage of soluble lens protein.
However, phacomorphic glaucoma is the most common type of lens-induced glaucoma (50-70%).
Therefore, best answer here is intumescent cataract.
