This study was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of Lens extraction with PCIOL implantation in the treatment of primary angle closure glaucoma in govt. Regional Eye Hospital, Kurnool. In this study lens extraction with PCIOL implantation has proved to be effective in widening the drainage angle and reducing intra ocular pressures and good visual outcome.
