| description | AIM: To summarize the characteristics and treatment of primary acute angle-closure glaucoma during the outbreak of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)in Wuhan.<p>METHODS: Five patients(9 eyes)with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma(APACG)of our hospital were enrolled. Eight eyes with sustained high intraocular pressure(IOP)were given phacoemulsification with goniosynechialysis and one eye in preclinical phase was given YAG laser iridectomy from March 3-20, 2020. The preoperative and postoperative IOP, visual acuity, hospitalization days and complications were reviewed and analyzed.<p>RESULTS: Three out of five APACG cases were binocular attack. The onset time was 12-40(25.2±11.82)d. The IOP(48.38±3.22mmHg)of eight eyes decreased significantly after surgeries(12.63±1.68mmHg), the difference was statistically significant(<i>t</i>=12.192, <i>P</i><0.01). The hospitalization time was 2-6(3.8±1.48)d. No COVID-19 infection or severe complications were observed. <p>CONCLUSION:During the epidemic of COVID-19, phacoemulsification with goniosynechialysis is able to reduce IOP of APACG patients who suffered from longer, heavier and binocular attack in the epidemic area effectively and safely. Strict prevention management can effectively ensure the safety of medical staff and patients, but also increase the difficulty of the surgeries meanwhile. |
