Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1. Occludable angle confirmed by gonioscopy (OMVGLF-1.5X): the gonioscope examinations were carried out in a darkened room with minimum-possible slit-lamp illumination, making sure that the slit beam did not impinge upon the pupil(6). The extent of posterior goniosynechia of the included patient was one-third to three-quarters; 2. Evidence was found of uncontrolled IOP (raised IOP, progressive glaucomatous optic neuropathy, and/or visual field progression); 3. All patients conformed to the diagnose standard of angle-closure glaucoma proposed by Foster in 2002(7): people meeting gonioscopic criteria for narrow angles and with evidence of significant obstruction of the functional trabecular meshwork by the peripheral iris would be classified as having primary angle closure (PAC). Those in whom PAC had led to significant glaucomatous damage to the optic nerve would be defined as having PACG.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria included: 1. Plateau iris syndrome; 2. Previous glaucoma surgery (argon laser/trabeculoplasty/trabeculectomy); 3. Retinal disease; 4. History of ocular injury; 5. Previous patent PI; 6. Other glaucomas.
