晶状体摘出术:降低眼压的新途径?

Lens extraction:a new way to lower the intraocular pressure

晶状体超声乳化摘出术治疗原发性闭角型青光眼(primary angle-closure glaucoma,PACG)可以有效加深前房,扩大房角,降低眼压(intraocular pressure,IOP);研究表明晶状体摘出术对于原发性开角型青光眼(primary open-angle glaucoma,POAG)、剥脱性青光眼等也可以有效地降低IOP。关于透明晶状体摘出术作为PACG治疗的方式一直存在着过度医疗等争议,但随着研究的不断深入,透明晶状体摘出术的安全性和有效性逐渐被证实。

Phacoemulsification surgery can effectively deepen the anterior chamber,widen the drainage angle and lower the intraocular pressure(IOP) in primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG) patients.Studies have shown that lens extraction can also reduce IOP for primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG) and pseudoexfoliation syndrome(PEX).There has been controversy about overtreatment of clear lens extraction for PACG.However,with the development of research,the safety and effectiveness of clear lens extraction have been gradually confirmed.
