This patient has experienced angle closure glaucoma which has caused corneal edema and an increased intra-ocular pressure (IOP). In the clinic you are unable to perform a successful laser peripheral laser iridotomy so you elect to perform cataract surgery instead. You learn from the CataractCoach Podcast with Johnny Gayton MD that the best treatment may actually be performing cataract surgery for this patient. The interesting part of this video is how the cornea starts out edematous and cloudy but by the end of the case, it is normal thickness and non-edematous. Great learning case.
