摘　　要：Background Relative pupil block is the most common mechanism of intraocular pressure(IOP)elevation in primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)and primary angle closure(PAC).The standard approach of treating PACG and PAC is laser peripheral iridotomy(LPI)with or without additional IOP-lowering agents.If IOP remains poorly controlled,lens removal could be considered,especially if the patient has co-existing symptomatic cataract.The efficacy of lowering IOP by lens extraction for patients with co-existing cataract and PACG or PAC is known(1-4).
