Evaluation of the effect of cataract surgery on glaucoma follow-up and treatment in patients with angle-closure glaucoma

ting the anterior chamber angle and enhancing uveoscleral flow. 2 Removing the lens, which is around 5.5 mm thick, and replacing it with an intraocular lens that is less than 1.0 mm thick significantly increases anterior chamber depth.This enables the anterior chamber angle to reopen.This procedure may also contribute to correcting pupillary block and improving visual acuity.The high perfusion pressure and viscoelastic use during surgery may widen the anterior chamber angle and reduce adhesions, while the combination of ultrasonic energy and high perfusion pressure may potentially contribute to the dissolution of IntroductIon The World Health Organisation (WHO) describes glaucoma as one of the main causes of blindness worldwide.Although angle-closure glaucoma is less common than open-angle glaucoma, it poses a greater risk of leading to blindness. 1 Significant advances in cataract surgery techniques in recent years have also contributed to the treatment of angle-closure glaucoma (ACG).Phacoemulsification has emerged as a key alternative in glaucoma treatment, effectively addressing the pathogenesis of ACG by reconstruc-CliniCal StudieS
