    Combined glaucoma and cataract surgery effectively lowers intraocular pressure and improves vision. This single procedure offers significant patient benefits, reducing medication needs and healthcare costs.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Glaucoma and cataracts often coexist, requiring separate surgical interventions.
    • Managing intraocular pressure and visual acuity presents a dual challenge for patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined trabeculectomy and cataract extraction procedure.
    • To assess the impact on intraocular pressure control and visual acuity.
    • To determine the overall benefits and cost-effectiveness of the combined approach.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 39 patients (46 eyes) underwent combined trabeculectomy and cataract extraction.
    • Follow-up averaged 27 months, monitoring intraocular pressure and visual acuity.
    • Complications and need for postoperative medication were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • 71.74% of eyes achieved controlled intraocular pressure without medication.
    • 26.09% required additional medical treatment for pressure control.
    • Significant improvement in visual acuity was observed with few complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Combined trabeculectomy and cataract extraction is an effective treatment for coexisting glaucoma and cataracts.
    • The procedure offers advantages including improved vision, reduced intraocular pressure, and decreased medication dependency.
    • This combined approach reduces hospital stays and postoperative management, leading to considerable cost savings.
