| Abstract | Acute primary angle closure glaucoma is an ocular urgency due to its acute intraocular ocular pressure rising that can cause blindness. It needs for immediate and effective treatment to prevent further vision loss. Conventional management is to use intraocular pressure-lowering medications combined with laser peripheral iridotomy, which have many limitations. Recent studies show effectiveness of cataract extraction by phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis. They have recently been shown to be superior to the conventional approach in IOP control in acute primary angle closure eyes. |
