AIM:To observe clinical effect of phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis for angle-closure glaucoma with cataract. ·METHODS:Totally 56 patients 60 eyes with cataract and angle-closure glaucoma underwent transparency corneal incision cataract phacoemulsification and goniosyne-chialysis by topical anaesthesia. ·RESULTS:Intraocular pressure (22-28mmHg) elevated in 3 eyes in 1 week,and in the follow-up of 3 to 12 months,intraocular pressure decreased to normal range after treatment. Visual acuity,central anterior chamber depth and angle were improved after operation. ·CONCLUSION:For patients with angle-closure glaucoma and cataract,phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis is a convenient,safe and effective method,and have the effects of depressurization and improving vision.
