Abstract

Objective To observe the points and effects of combining trabeculectomy and paracentesis of anterior chamber for treating acute angle-closure glaucoma with persistent ocular hypertension.Methods 54 eyes(46cases) of uncontrolled acute angle-closure glaucoma were treated by combining trabeculectomy and paracentesis of anterior chamber.In the follow-up of 6～18 months after surgery.Results The operation of 54 eyes was successful.The IOP was less than 21mmHg in 47 eyes without any antiglaucoma-drug and in 7 eyes with lower LOP drugs.The visions of 44 eyes were raised.There were no serious complications.Conclusion Combining trabeculectomy and paracentesis of anterior chamber for treating acute angle-closure glaucoma with persistent ocular hypertension is safe and effective.To keep the visual function from more damage,It should be performed for these patients actively
