AIM: To investigate the clinical results of phacoemulsification in the management of acute-closure glaucoma with continuous high intraocular pressure. METHODS: The phacoemulsification operations were performed in 31 case 31 eyes of acuteangle-closure glaucoma and cataract under higher intraocular pressure. The postoperative follow up was 6months to 2 years, and the vision and complications were observed. RESULTS: The visual acuity of all cases was improved, the corrected visual acuity in 2 eyes(6%) was under 0.1, 8 eyes (26%) between 0. 1 and 0. 2, 15 eyes (48%) between 0.3 and 0.6, 6 eyes(19%) between 0.8 and 1.0. The postoperative intraocular pressure remained normal in all eyes after one week. No serious complications such as choroidal hemorrhage, intraocular hemorrhage and malignant glaucoma were found. CONCLUSION: The phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in the management of acuteangle-closure glaucoma under higher intraocular pressure is safe and efficient.
