Abstract

Objective To observe the clinical evaluation of intraocular lens implantation in the treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma.Methods 31 patients (52 eyes) with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma patients with cataract were treated by cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation,followed up for 6 months.Results Vision of all patients were improved after operation.The postoperative visual acuity was ≤0.1 in2 eyes(3.85%),0.2~0.3 in 8 eyes(15.39%),0.4~0.8 in28 eyes(53.85%),≥1.0 in 14 eyes(26.91%) . Follow-up period,the intraoeular pressure(IOP) of 51 eyes(98.08%) were within the normal range,IOP of 1 eye was controlled with 0.25% timolol eye drops in the normal range.During follow-up the visual field didn't damage.Conclusion The clinical results of intraocular lens implantation in the treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma were safety and satisfactory. Key words: Glaucoma, angle-closure, acute;  Cataract;  Lens, intraocular
