Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Treatment
  • Clinical Decision-Making

Background:

  • Managing patients with co-existing cataracts and glaucoma presents complex treatment challenges.
  • Clinicians face critical decisions regarding the timing and type of surgical intervention.
  • Optimal management requires balancing cataract removal with glaucoma control strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an evidence-based algorithm for treating patients with concurrent cataracts and glaucoma.
  • To compare the decision-making factors and postoperative outcomes of different surgical approaches.
  • To analyze the impact of surgical timing (separate vs. combined procedures) on visual acuity and intraocular pressure.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of three patient groups undergoing cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, or combined procedures.
  • Evaluation of factors influencing the surgical decision-making process.
  • Assessment of postoperative results, including visual acuity (VA) and intraocular pressure (IOP).

Main Results:

  • Identification of key factors guiding the choice between isolated cataract surgery, isolated glaucoma surgery, or combined procedures.
  • Comparative data on visual acuity outcomes across the different surgical groups.
  • Analysis of intraocular pressure control and complication rates following each treatment strategy.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides insights into optimizing surgical algorithms for patients with both cataracts and glaucoma.
  • Understanding decision factors and postoperative results aids in selecting the most appropriate surgical technique.
  • Evidence supports tailored approaches to improve visual outcomes and manage intraocular pressure effectively.
