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).

Phacoemulsification + supraciliary microstent surgery vs phacoemulsification alone

Proportion of participants who were medication‐free (not using eye drops) medium‐term · people with open‐angle glaucoma

Phacoemulsification + supraciliary microstent surgery probably leads to higher proportion of participants who were medication‐free (not using… compared with phacoemulsification alone (moderate certainty).
