Changes in Choroidal Thickness and Its Effects on the Refractive Outcome After Surgical Treatment of Cataract Using Phacoemulsification Combined With Goniosynechialysis in Patients With Primary Angle Closure/Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate changes in choroidal thickness (CT) and their association with refractive outcomes after phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis (Phaco-GSL) in patients with primary angle-closure/glaucoma (PAC/PACG).

Methods

This study involved 79 eyes from 54 patients with PAC/PACG who underwent Phaco-GSL. Intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and CT were measured preoperatively and at 1 week (W1), 1 month (M1), 3 months (M3), and 6 months (M6) postoperatively. In addition, anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length (AL), visual field mean deviation (MD), and mean refractive error (MRE) were recorded preoperatively and at the final follow-up visit. Correlations between ocular biometric parameters and MRE were analyzed using approp
