Factors Predicting Intraocular Pressure Control After Phacoemulsification in Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Abstract

The reduction of IOP 3 months after phacoemulsification is significant and is similar in extent in postiridotomy eyes with and without glaucomatous optic neuropathy. A higher postoperative IOP in PACG is associated with a higher preoperative IOP and with a deeper preoperative anterior chamber depth.
