Angle closure is a basic pathological process in primary angle-closure glaucoma. Unlike filtration anti-glaucoma surgery, goniosynechialysis is a treatment for the cause of primary angle-closure glaucoma by reconstructing the physiological aqueous outflow pathway. In the past 10 years, phacoemulsification lens extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in combination with goniosynechialysis for the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma has become a hot topic of clinical research and discussion. This article points out the issues that need to be paid attention to in the clinical practice of the combined surgery, including the relationship between phacoemulsification surgery and goniosynechialysis, the effectiveness and influencing factors of the combined surgery, and how to avoid the postoperative re-adhesion of the angle, in order to provide reference and guidance for better goniosynechialysis.
