    This study recommends a specific surgical technique combining iridectomy, cataract extraction, and iridencleisis for patients with both glaucoma and cataracts. This combined approach is considered the most effective treatment based on historical and recent observations.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Cataract and glaucoma are common co-existing ocular conditions.
    • Historically, combined surgical approaches have been explored for managing these dual pathologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a specific surgical technique for eyes with co-existing glaucoma and cataracts.
    • To compare historical recommendations with contemporary surgical practices.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of historical observations (1949-1956) recommending a specific surgical combination.
    • Analysis of 966 cataract extractions performed between 1968-1976, with 84 in glaucomatous eyes.
    • Detailed examination of 17 cases utilizing iridectomy, sphincterotomy, intracapsular cataract extraction, and iridencleisis.

    Main Results:

    • The recommended technique involves iridectomy of one pillar, intracapsular cataract extraction, and iridencleisis of the other pillar.
    • This specific combination was performed in 17 cases within the study period.
    • The authors' observations suggest this technique is highly recommended for managing co-existing glaucoma and cataracts.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined surgical approach of iridectomy, intracapsular cataract extraction, and iridencleisis is considered the most recommended procedure.
    • This technique addresses both glaucoma and cataract simultaneously, offering a preferred treatment option.
