Core Concepts • Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible and preventable visual disability worldwide (accounting for 12% of global blindness) • As the population ages, the coexistence of cataract and glaucoma is common • Management options of POAG in the context of coexisting cataract include cataract surgery, trabeculectomy or combined surgery • Choice of surgical algorithm is dictated by...

OBJECTIVES To report the incidence of glaucoma and glaucoma suspects in the IATS, and to evaluate risk factors for the development of a glaucoma-related adverse event in patients in the IATS in the first year of follow-up. METHODS A total of 114 infants between 1 and 6 months of age with a unilateral congenital cataract were assigned to undergo cataract surgery either with or without an intra...
