Phacoemulsification in chronic closed-angle decompensated glaucoma
Synek SČeska a Slovenska Oftalmologie 2000; 56: 34-37
The author followed up the medium-term results of cataract operations in five patients with decompensated closed angle glaucoma. From the results it can be seen that, in patients with an intraocular pressure of less than 30 mmHg, surgery of cataract alone has a positive effect on the compensation of glaucoma. The standard surgical technique is also an advantage. The operation is carried out on an eye with a narrower pupil and requires an experienced ophthalmosurgeon. LA: Czech
