Résumé
Purpose
To evaluate the long-term efficacy of phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy (Phaco-Trab) for advanced chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) with cataract.
Methods
Patients with advanced chronic PACG coexisting with cataracts who underwent Phaco-Trab were enrolled. The morphologic structures of filtering blebs, including characteristics under slit-lamp examination, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), were used to evaluate the filtering function.
