PURPOSE To determine the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications up to three years after primary phacotrabeculectomy with intraoperative use of Mitomycin C (MMC) in primary open angle (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients, and the effect of postoperative complications on surgical outcome. METHODS Retrospective review of 160 consecutive patients with PO...

AIM To compare the efficacy and safety of fornix-based and limbus-based conjunctival flaps of phacotrabeculectomy with mitomycin C in patients with primary open angle glaucoma and cataract. METHODS The study included 16 patients (6 men and 10 women) with primary open angle glaucoma and bilateral cataract. In each patient, phacotrabeculectomy with mitomycin C was performed on both eyes: the ey...

Abstract Background To investigate long-term outcomes of prediction error after phacotrabeculectomy and to determine risk factors that may cause unstable in glaucoma patients. Methods A total 120 eyes patients who had underwent uncomplicated (combined group) or phacoemulsification (phaco-only were included. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) measured before surgery,...

Objectives: The objective of this study is to have an expanded evaluation on the effect phacotrabeculectomy ocular biometric (ACD/anterior chamber depth, lens thickness), gonioscopic and intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).
 Methods: A cohort PACG patient who underwent from September 2018- March 2019 at Dr.Kariadi hospital. Preoperative secondary data baseli...

PURPOSE This paper proposed to evaluate the tear fluid mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) change in Chinese primary angle-closure glaucoma and cataract patients after short-term medications and phacotrabeculectomy. METHODS Twenty-five eyes of 25 consecutive Chinese patients with coexisting visually significant cataract and angle-closure glaucoma and 40 eyes of 40 volunteers enrolled in this study were invest...

BACKGROUND Chronic use of intraocular pressure-lowering medications is associated with ocular surface disease (OSD). In this study, we assess the incidence of topical lubricant use as a surrogate marker for underlying OSD, in medically and surgically treated glaucoma patients. METHODS Retrospective chart review was performed for newly diagnosed glaucoma patients who were started on topical me...

Purpose: To investigate the current status and demographics of patients who underwent mitomycin C-augmented trabeculectomy (MMC-trabeculectomy) in Japan using data from the Collaborative Bleb-related Infection Incidence and Treatment Study. Subjects and Methods: Out of 1,249 patients (1,249 eyes), we selected patients who underwent trabeculectomy alone or phacotrabeculectomy using MMC. Age at t...

Both glaucoma and cataract are diseases with an increasing prevalence with age, and thus one often finds that they are coexistent in the elderly patient population. The association of glaucoma with cataract has become more frequent because of increase in life expectancy. The use of antiglaucoma medication has only strengthened their association. The presence of cataract can affect the ability t...
