AIM: To observe the clinical effect of separation of angle of anterior chamber combined with exrtacapsular cataract with intraocular posterior chamber lens implantation and trabeculectomy on acute angle-closure glaucoma complicated with cataract. METHODS: Twenty-nine cases (29 eyes) with acute angle-closure glaucoma complicated with cataract were operated by separation of angle of anterior chamber combined with exrtacapsular cataract with intraocular posterior chamber lens implantation and trabeculectomy. RESULTS: Postoperatively, intraocular pressure was decreased, the chamber depth was increased, visual acuity was raised after operation in 29 eyes, and no severe complication occurred. CONCLUSION: Characterized by decreasing intraocular pressure, opening anterior chamber, and raising visual acuity, separation of angle of anterior chamber combined with exrtacapsular cataract with intraocular posterior chamber lens implantation is a good operative therapy for acute angle-closure glaucoma complicated with cataract.
