AIM: To evaluate the clinical effects of the modified anterior chamber penetration on treating the acute angle-closure glaucoma with continuous high intraocular pressure (IOP). METHODS: The modified anterior chamber penetration was performed on 33 patients 33 eyes with the sudden attack of angle-closure glaucoma after topical anaesthetic. RESULTS: All patients with the modified anterior chamber penetration rapidly reduced IOP, eye pain, eased headache, improved eyesight in various degrees, after treatment IOP was an average of 15 mmHg. No complications occurred. CONCLUSION: The modified anterior chamber penetration is an effective, safe and simple method of treating the acute angle-closure glaucoma with continuous high IOP. It can avoid side effects caused by long-term IOP-decreasing drug and can quickly reduce IOP to alleviate the suffering of patients, reduce the damage to visual function caused by the high IOP.LA: Chinese
