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.

Although phacotrabeculectomy is an effective procedure, it combines the risks of phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy. This study evaluates phacoviscocanalostomy to manage eyes with PEXG and cataract. METHODS We conducted a prospective noncomparative study that included 30 consecutive eyes of 2...
