Phacotrabeculectomy Versus Conventional Combined Technique in Coexisting Glaucoma and Cataract

Comparison of phacotrabeculectomy versus phacocanaloplasty in the treatment of patients with cataract and open-angle glaucoma

Combined cataract extraction and trabeculotomy by the internal approach for coexisting cataract and open-angle glaucoma

PURPOSE To provide efficacy and safety of surgery with Trabectome combined with phacoemulsification in primary open-angle glaucoma. METHODS In this interventional case series, 30 consecutive eyes that have had combined phacoemulsification with Trabectome were included. The main outcome measures were change in intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medication use, and the rate of complications. ...

Comparison of phacotrabeculectomy versus phacocanaloplasty in the treatment of patients with concomitant cataract and glaucoma

BACKGROUND Cataract and glaucoma are both common comorbidities among older patients. Combining glaucoma surgery with minimal invasive phacoemulsification (phaco) is a considerable option to treat both conditions at the same time, although the combination with filtration surgery can produce a strong inflammatory response. Combined non-penetrating procedures like canaloplasty have shown to reduce...

Surgical Management of Coexisting Cataract and Glaucoma

C. Glaucoma assessment: determine type of glaucoma (i.e., OAG, PXF, angle closure) and access degree of optic nerve damage can be difficult because cataract may affect visual field testing, alter view of optic nerve and may even be an infrequent cause of glaucoma. Assessment of extent of glaucoma damage is critical for decision-making. Visual fields may “improve” after cataract surgery (Ang et al)

[Surgical management of coexisting glaucoma and cataract].

Coexisting glaucoma and cataract is a common eye disorder in elderly population. Recent advances in the management of patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma offer a promising alternative in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma and a cataract and provide an individualized treatment depending upon patient's characteristics and intraocular pressure (IOP). Based on many significant studies t...
