Combined cataract surgery and glaucoma treatment, phacotrabeculectomy, effectively lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) and improves vision. This safe and effective procedure offers good IOP control and rapid visual rehabilitation for glaucoma patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Research
  • Cataract Surgery

Background:

  • Cataracts and glaucoma often coexist, requiring combined surgical approaches.
  • Managing intraocular pressure (IOP) is crucial in glaucoma patients with cataracts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined phacoemulsification, posterior chamber lens implantation, and trabeculectomy.
  • To assess IOP reduction and visual acuity improvement after primary phacotrabeculectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 74 patients with cataract and controlled glaucoma.
  • Performed primary phacotrabeculectomy without antimetabolites.
  • Follow-up of at least 6 months.

Main Results:

  • Mean IOP decreased by 35.3% (from 22.8 to 14.3 mm Hg).
  • 66.2% of patients achieved a maximum IOP of 19 mm Hg without medication.
  • Mean logMAR visual acuity improved from 0.58 to 0.30.

Conclusions:

  • Primary phacotrabeculectomy is a safe and effective surgical option.
  • The procedure provides significant IOP control.
  • Rapid visual rehabilitation is achieved post-surgery.
