ABSTRACT
AIM:
To compare the effect of trabeculectomy and combined surgery of glaucoma and cataract treating primary angle-closure glaucoma ( PACG) with cataract.METHODS:
It was retrospectively reviewed that 80 patients (90 eyes) with PACG and cataract were treated in our hospital from January 2012 to October 2013. They were divided into observation group ( combined surgery of glaucoma and cataract group, 45 eyes ) and control group ( trabeculectomy group, 45 eyes) . Postoperatively, all the patients were followed up for 6mo. Intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , visual acuity and complications were observed.RESULTS:
Compared to preoperative IOP, postoperative IOP was significantly reduced in both observation group and control group, while IOP was reduced more greatly in observation group (P=0. 003). Visual acuity was significantly improved in observation group, while it was not improved significantly in control group ( P = 0. 036 ). Compared to control group, complications such as shallow anterior chamber with hypotony, macular edema and anterior chamber inflammation were less observed in observation group, with significant statistical difference ( P=0. 002, P=0. 003, P=0. 001).CONCLUSION:
For patients with PACG and cataract, combined surgery of glaucoma and cataract is an effective surgery that can improve visual acuity and reduce IOP with fewer complications.
