Patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma were more likely to maintain drop-free IOP control with early lens extraction rather than laser peripheral iridotomy, according to a study.
In his presentation at the virtual Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting, David S. Friedman, MD, PhD, MPH, discussed results from the pragmatic randomized controlled EAGLE trial that compared early lens extraction with laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) or primary angle closure (PAC) with high IOP. Researchers also assessed baseline
