Abstract:

Objective   To evaluate the method and timing of surgery for abnormal lens zonule or lens subluxation caused by refractory glaucoma. Methods   The clinical data and treatment were analyzed in 5 cases of abnormal lens zonule or lens subluxation caused by refractory glaucoma. Results   Glaucoma surgery or glaucoma surgery combined with phacoemulsification＋intraocular lens +capsular tension ring in the normal quadrant of lens zonule were performed on 5 cases of high intraocular pressure. The intraocular pressure was normal after operation. Correction of visual acuity was improved in all the cases. Conclusions   Primary acute angle-closure glaucoma can lead to abnormal lens subluxation and intraocular pressure； carefully checking lens zonule and choosing the best site and timing are important for prognosis.
