Impact of phaco plus goniosynechialysis minimal in well-controlled glaucoma
In patients with medically well-controlled chronic angle-closure glaucoma and cataracts, combined phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis rather than phaco alone did not significantly affect the IOP-lowering effect, according to a study.“I tend to perform synechialysis along with cataract surgery empirically for patients with chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG),” co-investigator Chan Yun Kim, MD, PhD, who sought to determine if such a regimen had a substantial clinical impact on patient outcomes, said.
