Studies from Nanjing Medical University Update Current Data on Angle-Closure Glaucoma (Iris Cerclage To Treat Persistent Mydriasis Following Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma Improves Visual Quality).

A study conducted by researchers at Nanjing Medical University in Jiangsu, China, has developed a modified iris cerclage technique to improve visual quality in patients with acute primary angle closure (PAC) and permanent mydriasis after cataract surgery. The study involved 12 patients who underwent the modified iris cerclage procedure, and improvements were observed in best corrected visual acuity, pupillary parameters, self-assessed photophobia, and visual function index-14 questionnaire scores. No postoperative complications were observed, and the modified iris cerclage technique resulted in a centered and round pupil. The research concludes that this technique can effectively improve visual quality in patients with acute PAC and permanent mydriasis after cataract surgery. [Extracted from the article]
