Anatomical effects of clear lens extraction by phacoemulsification versus trabeculectomy on anterior chamber drainage angle in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients.

Man Xiaofei, Chan Noel C Y, Baig Nafees, Kwong Yolanda Y Y, Leung Dexter Y L, Li Felix C H et al.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp OphthalmolFeb 201538 citationsObservational Study

Clear lens extraction significantly reduced angle closure and widened the anterior chamber angle in PACG patients, unlike trabeculectomy, suggesting its superior anatomical benefit for angle opening.

2.

Factors correlating with failure to control intraocular pressure in primary angle-closure glaucoma eyes with coexisting cataract treated by phacoemulsification or combined phacotrabeculectomy.

Tham Clement C Y, Leung Dexter Y L, Kwong Yolanda Y Y, Liang Yuanbo, Peng Andrea Yi, Li Felix C H et al.

Asia Pac J Ophthalmol (Phila)Jan 201511 citationsRetrospective Study

In PACG eyes with cataract, high preoperative IOP and more glaucoma drugs predict IOP control failure. Phacotrabeculectomy is superior to phacoemulsification alone for IOP control.

3.

Phacoemulsification versus trabeculectomy in medically uncontrolled chronic angle-closure glaucoma without cataract.

Tham Clement C Y, Kwong Yolanda Y Y, Baig Nafees, Leung Dexter Y L, Li Felix C H, Lam Dennis S C

OphthalmologyJan 20130 citationsRandomized Controlled Trial

For uncontrolled chronic angle-closure glaucoma without cataract, both phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy similarly reduced IOP; however, trabeculectomy reduced medication dependence more but had significantly more complications.

6.

Effects of phacoemulsification versus combined phaco-trabeculectomy on drainage angle status in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).

Tham Clement C Y, Leung Dexter Y L, Kwong Yolanda Y Y, Li Felix C H, Lai Jimmy S M, Lam Dennis S C

J GlaucomaFeb 201070 citationsRandomized Controlled Trial

This study found phacoemulsification alone opened the drainage angle and deepened the anterior chamber more effectively than combined phaco-trabeculectomy in PACG eyes, indicating better anatomical improvement.

8.

Phacoemulsification versus combined phacotrabeculectomy in medically uncontrolled chronic angle closure glaucoma with cataracts.

Tham Clement C Y, Kwong Yolanda Y Y, Leung Dexter Y L, Lam S W, Li Felix C H, Chiu Thomas Y H et al.

OphthalmologyApr 2009169 citationsRandomized Controlled Trial

For uncontrolled angle-closure glaucoma with cataracts, combined phacotrabeculectomy lowered IOP and medication use more than phacoemulsification alone, but had more complications and optic neuropathy progression.

9.

Phacoemulsification versus combined phacotrabeculectomy in medically controlled chronic angle closure glaucoma with cataract.

Tham Clement C Y, Kwong Yolanda Y Y, Leung Dexter Y L, Lam S W, Li Felix C H, Chiu Thomas Y H et al.

OphthalmologyDec 2008141 citationsRandomized Controlled Trial

This study found combined phacotrabeculectomy reduced glaucoma medication use more than phacoemulsification for CACG with cataract, but with more complications. Its marginal IOP benefit needs further risk-benefit evaluation.

10.

Randomized trial of early phacoemulsification versus peripheral iridotomy to prevent intraocular pressure rise after acute primary angle closure.

Lam Dennis S C, Leung Dexter Y L, Tham Clement C Y, Li Felix C H, Kwong Yolanda Y Y, Chiu Thomas Y H et al.

OphthalmologyJul 2008149 citationsRandomized Controlled Trial

This study found early phacoemulsification was significantly more effective than LPI in preventing subsequent IOP rise after acute angle closure, offering a superior definitive treatment, especially with high presenting IOP.
