Outcomes of combined phacoemulsification, anterior vitrectomy, and sclerectomy in nanophthalmic eyes with glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the long-term efficacy and safety of combined phacoemulsification, anterior vitrectomy, and sclerectomy (triple procedure surgery, TS); combined phacoemulsification and anterior vitrectomy (double procedure surgery, DS); and filtering surgery (FS) in nanophthalmos with angle-closure glaucoma (NACG).

Methods

Retrospective cohort study. Forty patients (44 eyes) diagnosed with NACG who underwent TS, DS, and FS were included. All eyes in the TS group and seven (47%) eyes in the DS group also underwent goniosynechialysis during the surgery. The main outcome measures (intraocular pressure [IOP], best-corrected visual acuity, complications, and second surgeries) were recorded at the early- (within 1 week) and late-stage (>3 months) follow-up.
