Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Cataract and glaucoma are leading causes of vision impairment.
  • Combined surgical procedures aim to address both conditions simultaneously.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy.
  • To assess visual acuity and intraocular pressure control post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 22 consecutive combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy operations.
  • Trabeculectomy performed using a "Crozafon punch" through a sclerocorneal tunnel.
  • Mean follow-up period of 6 months.

Main Results:

  • 82% of patients (18 eyes) achieved a visual acuity of 0.5 or better.

  • 18 eyes achieved intraocular pressure control without medication.
  • 4 eyes required beta-blocker medication for intraocular pressure management.
  • A low complication rate was observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy is an effective procedure for improving visual acuity.
    • The surgical technique provides good intraocular pressure control with a low complication rate.
    • This combined approach offers a viable treatment option for patients with cataracts and glaucoma.
