Visco-circumferential-suture-trabeculotomy-synechiolysis with phacoemulsification versus phacoemulsification alone for chronic primary angle closure glaucoma
Phacoemulsification results in a significant and sustained reduction in IOP and the need for AGMs for at least 2 years of follow-up. The addition of VCSTS to phacoemulsification provides a greater reduction in IOP and AGMs and improved surgical success without serious complications.
