“…This is similar to CACG patients' natural progression rate (25%), which regards mean target IOP as an important risk factor for progression. 20 However, 25% is a greater rate than 14.8%, which Tham et al 8 reported for medically uncontrolled CACG patients who had received a second glaucoma operation for progression. The reason for our greater percentage may result from our longer follow-up time and more strict exclusions in our retrospective study.…”

“…Recently, several studies have indicated that target pressure of low teens may be required for eyes with advanced PACG to prevent glaucoma progression. 23,24 It is likely that phacotrabeculectomy is a better option than PHCE alone for patients with advanced PACG who have a preoperative IOPXACD product greater than 35 while on multiple medications.…”
