ABSTRACT

AlMTo discuss the clinical effect and safety of the combined surgeries of phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis for patients with primary angle -closure glaucoma ( PACG) .METHODS:Eighty-three eyes of 83 patients with PACG and cataract were ranomized into two groups. Group A39 patients with 39 eyes of angle-closure 0. 05). The lOP in group A was lower than that in group B 3mo after operation, there was statistical significance (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlONPhacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis can deepen ACD significantly. This method make the anterior chamber angle open, can reduce lOP and improve the patients’ visual acuity, especially in patients with PACG. lt is a safe and effective approach to patients with PACG and cataract.
