Comparative study of lens subluxation in patients with angle-closure glaucoma and shallow anterior chamber with different axial lengths

Abstract

AIM:To investigate whether there is a difference in the probability of partial zonular dehiscence and subluxation in patients with angle-closure glaucoma and shallow anterior chamber combined with cataract. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed,for patients with angle-closure glaucoma and patients of shallow anterior chamber with cataract admitted to our hospital from February 2017 to March 2019. The patients underwent cataract surgeries and were divided into two groups: Group A(visual axis RESULTS: The result indicated that the rate of partial zonular dehiscence in group B was higher than that in group A(8.46%±1.44% vs 7.56%±1.51%, PCONCLUSION: When performing cataract surgery in patients of angle-closure glaucoma and shallow anterior chamber in group B, attention should be paid to the probability of zonular abnormality.
