Summary

Combined ECCE, TE, and IOL surgery significantly reduced intraocular pressure and glaucoma medication needs. Patients experienced improved vision six months post-operation, with 89% achieving better than 0.5 vision.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Context:

  • Glaucoma management presents challenges in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication burden.
  • Combined surgical techniques offer potential for improved patient outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a combined extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with trabecularエクスフォリative (TE) and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
  • To assess the impact on intraocular pressure (IOP), antiglaucomatous treatment, and visual acuity six months post-surgery.

Summary:

  • The study involved 36 eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), and chronic glaucoma (CG).
  • Post-operatively, IOP decreased from 26.4 to 13.3 mm Hg (P<0.05), and antiglaucomatous treatment reduced from 2.55 to 1.11 (P<0.05).
  • Visual acuity improved by 0.39 lines (P<0.05), with 89% of patients achieving vision >0.5.

Impact:

  • The combined ECCE + TE + IOL procedure demonstrates significant IOP reduction and visual improvement in glaucoma patients.
  • A more pronounced IOP reduction was observed in chronic glaucoma (CG) compared to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
  • This surgical approach offers a promising alternative for managing complex glaucoma cases, potentially decreasing medication dependency.
