Popis: AIM: To observe the efficacy of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens(IOL)implantation combined with goniosynechialysis in treating acute primary angle-closure glaucoma with cataract.METHODS: Fifty-two eyes of 40 patients(52 eyes)from October 2009 to June 2014 in our department with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma combined with cataract were included in this study. All patients were undergone phacoemulsification with IOL implantation combined with goniosynechialysis through clear corneal incision at the temporal side and were followed up for 6mo.RESULTS: Best corrected visual acuity was improved after surgery(PPPCONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation combined with goniosynechialysis is a safe and effective treatment for acute primary angle-closure glaucoma combined with cataract in decreasing IOP and improving visual acuity.
