Effect of Cataract Phacoemulsification on Intraocular Pressure and Metric Parameters of the Anterior Chamber in Eyes with Angle Closure Glaucoma

Emil Saeed, Joanna Konopinska, Marta Deniziak and Zofia Izabella Mariak

Purpose of the study: to determine: whether, to what extent, and how permanently replacement of the patient's own lens with a thin, artificial lens during cataract phacoemulsification surgery affects the change of trabecular-iris angle configuration and the depth of the eye's anterior chamber, and in consequence, intraocular pressure in eyes with angle closure glaucoma.
Study plan: prospective study.
Material and Methods: There were 86 persons in the study. Intraocular pressure (IOP), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were assessed.
Results: After PE average growth of chamber depth was 1.46 ± 0.44 mm, angle width -15.30 ± 12.40°.
Conclusions: Anterior chamber depth and trabecular-iris angle width increased significantly in all eyes after PE.
