Abstract:
The best therapeutic approach to angle closure with cataract is phacoemulsification and foldable implant. The surgery is performed as soon as the acute crisis is over. Both dispersive and cohesive visco-elastic substance are used in the narrow anterior chamber. Poor mydriasis is best managed by means of iris hooks.
