Abstract
Cataract surgery lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) and reduces the risk for acute attacks in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Since cataract surgery may lower the IOP by deepening the anterior chamber and widening the angle, it is probable that clear lens exchange (CLE) may also be effective. However, CLE is highly controversial and there are no studies of the risk/benefit of CLE PACG.We report 3 patients with PACGwho had CLE instead of a trabeculectomy for control of their IOP.
