Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM) in the surgical treatment of glaucoma complicated by cataract and in the observation of the post-operation changes of the anterior chamber angle and its related structure in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG).Methods: Combined surgery of phacoemulsification,intraocular lens(IOL) implantation and trabeculectomy was performed in 30 patients(30 eyes) with cataract and PACG.The changes of the anterior chamber angle and anterior chamber distance were determined by UBM before and 1 month after the operation.At the same time,intraocular pressure was recorded and analyzed.Results:Intraocular pressure was obviously decreased after the operation.There were significant differences between pre-and post-operation in ACD,AOD500,TIA and TCPD(P0.05).Conclusion: Combined surgery for glaucoma and cataract could deepen the anterior chamber,widen the chamber angle,and reopen the trabeculae,which contributes to the control of intraocular pressure and reduces postoperative complications such as shallow anterior chamber.Long-term effect of the surgery needs to be further investigated.
