    Summary

    Cataract surgery following goniotrepanation effectively managed intraocular pressure (IOP) in most patients. This surgical approach offers a viable option for patients with pre-existing glaucoma conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Surgery
    • Cataract Surgery

    Context:

    • Goniotrepanation is a surgical procedure to treat glaucoma.
    • Cataract surgery is a common procedure to restore vision.
    • Combining these procedures presents unique surgical considerations.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of cataract surgery performed after goniotrepanation.
    • To assess intraocular pressure (IOP) control and surgical complications.

    Summary:

    • Seventy-five eyes underwent cataract surgery after goniotrepanation, with ages ranging from 46-84.
    • Incisions were made near the limbus to preserve the fistula, with 7-0 silk sutures used for closure.
    • Vitreous prolapse occurred in 7 cases; 52 eyes were followed up, showing regulated IOP postoperatively in all but one case.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates the safety and efficacy of sequential cataract surgery after glaucoma filtration surgery.
    • Provides valuable data for ophthalmologists managing patients with co-existing cataracts and glaucoma.
    • Highlights the importance of surgical technique in preserving fistula integrity and achieving IOP control.
