Lens extraction versus laser peripheral iridotomy for acute primary angle closure

CONCLUSIONS: Low certainty evidence suggests that early lens extraction may produce more favorable outcomes compared to initial LPI in terms of IOP control. Evidence for other outcomes is less clear. Future high-quality and longer-term studies evaluating the effects of either intervention on the development of glaucomatous damage and visual field changes as well as health-related quality of life measures would be helpful.PMID:36884304 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD015116.pub2
