To this end, the authors designed a multicenter randomized clinic study to determine the effectiveness of lens phacoemulsification compared to laser peripheral iridotomy (PI). The effectiveness of treatments was established on the basis of intraocular pressure, patient quality of life and cost/effectiveness ratio adjusted by quality of life/year 36 months after the study baseline.The authors concluded that the phacoemulsification group exhibited greater intraocular pressure reduction (16.6mmHg) when compared to the PI group (17.9mmHg) as well as better quality of life measured by the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions questionnaire, NEI-VFQ-25 and the Glaucoma Utility Index. However, the cost/effectiveness analysis at month 36 demonstrates that phacoemulsification is more expensive than PI due to the initial costs of surgery.In what concerns the complications of both procedures, the authors reported the absence of severe adverse effects in both groups. A differential analysis between both groups of patients shows that PI produces a significantly higher number of complications than phacoemulsification (Kruskal–Wallis test: p=0.0028). Separating complications as minor and severe (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#tbl0005">Tables 1 and 2</a>), we only find a significant difference for phacoemulsification in the subgroup of minor complications (Kruskal–Wallis test: p=0.003) which is not found in the subgroup of severe complications (Kruskal–Wallis test: p=0.43).<elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0010"></elsevierMultimedia>When it becomes necessary to take a decision involving a departure from the standard approach, i.e., PI as initial treatment for closed angle and closed angle primary glaucoma cases, we must take into account not only the effectiveness of the alternative to the standard treatment but also a detailed analysis of the complications involved in both procedures. The number and type of complications will allow us to decide for one treatment and discard the other. In this case, phacoemulsification patients exhibited lower intraocular pressure, better quality of life and a lower number of complications."

Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología is the official journal of the Ophthalmology Society of Spain, that has over 4,000 members. It gives priority to the publication of basic, translational and clinic research including reviews, original articles, short communications, editorials, letters to the editor and clinic practice guides related to Ophthalmology and its subspecialties. A small section of the journal is reserved for the most relevant papers presented at the annual Congress of the Society. All manuscripts considered for publication are reviewed by expert examiner peers (double blind). The journal is published monthly and even though its official language is Spanish all articles are translated into English to increase the dissemination of scientific information. At present, Archivos is the only Spanish language Ophthalmology journal indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE in addition to other prestigious international databases such as Scopus.
