Intervention  Phacoemilsification with Bent Angle Needle Goniectomy  The study group would undergo phacoemulsification with bent angle needle goniectomy (BANG).The patients will be examined preoperatively, and they will be followed up postoperatively on a schedule of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.

Brief Summary  
The study population would be randomized into 2 groups A and B (24 each) by the envelope method.The
study group would undergo phacoemulsification with bent angle needle goniectomy (BANG) and the control
group would undergo phacoemulsification alone. The patients will be examined preoperatively, and they
will be followed up postoperatively on a schedule of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. The reduction
in IOP and the number of AGMs would be noted. Patients’ loss to follow-up would be excluded.
