Primary Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation for Acute Primary Angle-Closure

Abstract

Primary phacoemulsification plus intraocular lens implantation lowered IOP, reduced the use of antiglaucoma medications, and improved vision in patients with acute PAC. This is a safe and effective method of IOP control and can be considered a first treatment option in managing patients with acute PAC and coexisting cataract.
