Phacoemulsification vs laser peripheral iridotomy

Proportion of participants requiring further IOP‐lowering interventions (additional surgery, medications, or both) (lower number of events is better) · Participants with acute primary angle closure after initial medical treatment to lower intraocular pressure

It is very uncertain whether phacoemulsification changes proportion of participants requiring further IOP‐lowering… compared with laser peripheral iridotomy (very low certainty).
