Efficacy of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation on angle-closure glaucoma with cataract in high intraocular pressure

Objective To analyze the therapeutic efficacy of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation on angle-closure glaucoma with cataract in high IOP.Methods 52 cases with angle-closure glaucoma with cataract,whose intraocular pressure can not be controlled below safe lie by drug before operation,were treated with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.The control of intraocular pressure were observed and analyzed.The observing duration was 3 months to 2 years.Results IOP decreased significantly,the anterior chamber deepened,angle of anterior chamber opened,and visual acuity improved to varying degrees after operation.Conclusion Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation is easier,and has less complication and specific effect of IOP control on angle-closure glaucoma with cataract.
