Anterior chamber angle reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to treat angle-closure glaucoma, a condition where the angle between the iris and the cornea is too narrow, obstructing the drainage of fluid from the eye. This obstruction leads to increased intraocular pressure (IOP), which can cause optic nerve damage and vision loss if left untreated.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions in the eye to improve the drainage angle, which allows fluid to drain more effectively. This can help to lower IOP and prevent further damage to the optic nerve. In some cases, the procedure may also involve the use of laser therapy to open the angle or clear any obstructions.

Anterior chamber angle reconstruction is highly effective in treating angle-closure glaucoma, providing long-term relief and preserving vision for patients who have not responded to medications or laser treatments.
