The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with ciliarotomy in the treatment of angle-closure glaucoma with cataract in the elderly. A total of 68 patients were consecutively selected and divided into the control group with 33 cases (48 eyes) and the observation group with 35 cases (53 eyes). Cataract surgery combined with trabeculectomy was performed on the patients in the control group and phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with ciliarotomy was performed on the subjects in the observation group, to compare postoperative effects and complications. Following surgery, the visual acuity of patients in the two groups significantly improved, intraocular pressure decreased, and improvement of the observation group was more evident (P<0.05). Following surgery, the depth of central anterior chamber and width of chamber angle of patients in two groups was increased, and improvement of the observation group was significantly more evident (P<0.05). Additionally, the incidence of complications, including corneal swelling, shallow of anterior chamber, fibrinous exudate in iris, and filtering bleb leaking and following cataract removal, of patients in the observation group was significantly reduced compared to the control group (P<0.05). In summary, the results of the present study show that, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with ciliarotomy in the treatment of angle-closure glaucoma with cataract in the elderly is a safe and effective method and should be applied in the clinic.
