Figure 2

Series ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) image of a representative case of primary angle-closure glaucoma after combined phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, goniosynechialysis and trabectome. This representative case was an 81-year-old man with blurred vision for 10 years in the left eye. His best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.05 and intraocular pressure (IOP) was 20.5 mmHg with the use three anti-glaucoma medications at baseline. (A) UBM image preoperatively showed that the anterior chamber angle on the nasal side was closed. (B–F) UBM image 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after surgery demonstrated that the narrow chamber angle had been deepened. At 24 months, the IOP decreased to 14 mmHg with only one medication. White asterisks represent the position that underwent trabectome.
