Phacoemulsification vs laser peripheral iridotomy

Proportion of participants with IOP control (higher number of events is better) · Participants with acute primary angle closure after initial medical treatment to lower intraocular pressure

Phacoemulsification may leads to higher proportion of participants with IOP control (higher number of events… compared with laser peripheral iridotomy (low certainty).

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 vs laser peripheral iridotomy

Progression of visual field loss (worsening of one or more stages, accordingto the Glaucoma Staging System‐2) (at 12 months) · participants with primary angle‐closure glaucoma
