This case study details combined cataract and glaucoma surgery for a patient with advanced bilateral senile cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma. It explores therapeutic options for this common co-occurring condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma frequently coexist, posing treatment challenges.
  • Medical management of glaucoma can be insufficient in cases with concurrent cataracts.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old female patient presented with bilateral senile cataract, more advanced in the right eye (RE).
  • The patient had primary open-angle glaucoma with poor drug compensation in the RE, using timolol 0.5% and xalatan 0.005%.

Findings:

  • Combined cataract and glaucoma surgery was successfully performed.
  • The surgical approach utilized different zones for each condition.

Implications:

  • Combined surgery offers a viable therapeutic option for patients with coexisting cataracts and glaucoma.
