This procedure was successful in 80% of cases, and the peripheral anterior syenchiae did not exist until one year later. Nonetheless, there is little evidence of its efficacy in our context. Our study aims to investigate the efficacy of goniosynechialysis during phacoemulsification in patients with primary angle closure disease and concomitant cataract. Methods: This was an observational, prospective study. The intra-ocular pressure, need for anti-glaucoma drugs, visual acuity, the extent of synechiae, anterior chamber depth, surgical success rate, and other indicators were monitored for at least three months following surgery. Results: This study included 114 patients (118 eyes), 61 with chronic angle closure glaucoma (51.69%), 33 with primary angle closure (27.97%), and 24 with acute attack angle closure (20.34%), who were surgically treated with phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis (Phaco-GSL). The mean intra-ocular pressure had significantly decreased three months after surgery (pre- vs post-op: 22.04 ± 10.86 vs 15.41 ± 6.06 mmHg, p-value p-value p-value p-value p-value Conclusion: Regardless of the type of glaucoma, combined phacoemulsification-goniosynechialysis is effective in lowering pressure, restoring vision, reducing the need for anti-glaucoma drugs, and preventing the synechial recurrence. Success was higher in eyes with less extensive synechiae. Phaco-GSL is safe and effective in the treatment of primary angle closure diseases with co-existing cataract.展开更多

Materials and Methods: 14 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study that was conducted with the consent over a 14-month period. The medical records were analyzed for variables such as intra-ocular pressure, the number of anti-glaucoma drugs used, visual acuity, pain level, and complications during and after treatment. The main outcome was whether or not there was success or failure, with success being defined as a pressure level between 6 and 21 mmHg and a 30% decrease in IOP by week 24 (with/without drugs). Results: In our study, the mean age of patients was 52.36 ± 9.98 years old (42 to 75 years old). The mean intra-ocular pressure before treatment was 41.00 ± 12.26 mmHg, which decreased to 21.60 ± 8.11 mmHg (41.56% reduction) and 16.94 ± 5.46 mmHg (56.04% reduction) in the 12th and 24th weeks (p p Conclusion: Micro-pulse trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation is a safe and effective method for lowering pressure in any stage of disease without the use of invasive surgeries.展开更多

These events include three cases of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada like （VKH） disease （an association of panuveitis, retinal detachment, ear and meningeal detachment and skin and hair changes）, two cases of central retinal vein occlusion, one case of central retinal artery occlusion, one case of severe hypertensive retinopathy and one case of bilateral ischemic optic neuropathy with severe visual impairment. Rare as they are, such severe ophthalmological complications require a close follow-up of HCV-infected patients under IFN-α breabnent with ophthalmological monitoring if any ocular manifestation occurs.展开更多
