Abstract We evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, goniosynechialysis (GSL), and trabectome in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). In this prospective interventional study, twenty patients (22 eyes) of PACG treated with combined phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, GSL, and trabectome between September 2017 to September 2020 were recruited. The intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of glaucoma medications, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were recorded at baseline, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after operation. IOP was decreased significantly from 20.69±6.90 mmHg at baseline to 15.83±2.79mmHg at 24 months’ follow-up (P=0.043). The number of glaucoma medications reduced from 2.76±1.14 preoperatively to 0.73±0.77 at 24 months’ follow-up (P=0.026). The qualified success rate was 86.8% at 2 years. The reduction of IOP showed a positive correlation with baseline IOP (p<0.001) and the reduction of the number of glaucoma medications was positively correlated with baseline number of glaucoma medications (p<0.001). There was no vision-threatening complication during and after operation. The combined procedure of phacoemulsification, IOL implantation, GSL, and trabectome was effective and safe for PACG patients. It may provide a new method for PACG patients especially those with long term and extensive goniosynechia.

Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

Purpose. To evaluate primary trabeculectomy with adjunctive mitomycin-C (MMC) in diabetic patients without retinopathy with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Design. This is a retrospective case series comparison. Participants. This retrospective trial compared outcomes of 88 eyes that underwent trabeculectomy in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) without retinopathy and in 97 patients without DM. Methods. In this study, the intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, visual field, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Qualified surgical success is defined as an IOP between 6 and 18 mmHg with or without topical antiglaucoma medication. Results. After a follow-up of 5 years, the IOP decreased from a mean basal IOP of 27.8±7.3 mmHg to 15.0±5.6 mmHg in the DM group and from 27.3±6.0 mmHg to 12.4±5.3 mmHg in the control group. The mean number of antiglaucoma medications was 3.4±1.3 and 3.3±1.2 preoperatively (P=0.587) whereas it was 1.7±1.5 and 1.1±1.4 at the 5-year follow-up (P=0.049). The 5-year qualified surgical success rates were 42.9% and 65.4% for both groups (P=0.046; log-rank test). Encysted blebs were seen in 21 (23.9%) patients in the DM group and in 12 (12.4%) patients in the control group (P=0.041). Conclusion. PACG patients with DM without retinopathy undergoing primary trabeculectomy with MMC may have a lower long-term surgical survival rate compared with patients without DM.
