Abstract:
Development of primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is closely related to the changes of the position and morphology of the lens owing to a shallow anterior chamber,pupillary blockage and angle closure.Lens extraction can deepen the depth of the anterior chamber and resolve the pupillary blockage,and therefore increase the outflow of aqueous fluid.Furthermore,the combination of lens extraction with goniosynechialysis can reopen the closed anterior chamber angle and relieve peripheral anterior synechia of pupil,with a better clinical effectiveness for primary angle closure glaucoma.Recently,the studies related to lens extraction for primary angle closure glaucoma have madc great progression,especially its mechanism and efficacy,and of course some existing problems of lens extraction are concerned.In this review,the relationship between lens and primary angle closure glaucoma,the clinical effectiveness of lens extraction for primary angle closure glaucoma,the safety evaluation of lens extraction and goniosynechialysis were summarized.
