Official Title: Combined Visco-Circumferential-Suture-Trabeculotomy With Phacoemulsification Versus Phacoemulsification in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma: A 2-Year Randomized Controlled Trial.

Brief Summary: As ab externo metal probe trabeculotomy cannot achieve 360-degree circumferential angle surgery, prolene suture can be used to achieve this without the need for an illuminated microcatheter.In order to combine the advantages of the use of viscoelastic and those of circumferential trabeculotomy, this technique (Visco-Circumferential-Suture- Trabeculotomy "VCST") was previously used successfully in PCG.(7) In the current study , the authors hypothesize that combination of VCST with phacoemulsification in…
