Phacoemulsification Combined with Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation Vs Phacoemulsification Alone in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma - a Randomised Controlled Trial
Key Points
Phaco-ECP group achieved a significant reduction in intraocular pressure compared to the Phaco alone group.
The study found a notable decrease in the number of medications needed in the Phaco-ECP group.
A randomized controlled trial design was utilized to assess the effects on glaucoma patients.
Findings suggest that combining treatments may improve outcomes for primary angle closure glaucoma.
Abstract
Phaco-ECP group demonstrated a significant reduction in IOP and number of medications, along with a notable widening of nasal anterior chamber angle parameters as compared to Phaco alone group.
