Indications and efficacy of combined trabeculectomy and extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation in cataract patients with coexisting open angle glaucoma

Abstract: In an observational study 19 eyes with cataract and coexisting primary open angle glaucoma were scheduled to undergo combined procedure with ECCE-IOL and trabeculectomy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the results and the efficacy of combined surgery, when we extended the indication for surgery. Thus the surgical decision making was not based solely upon IOP readings, but also involved social/psychological factors. Median decrease in IOP (IOPpost-IOPpre) was significant through a 12-month obser… Show more

“…The visual acuity results in these patients do not compare favorably with other published series. 30% of these eyes achieved 6/12 (20/40) or better in comparison to more than 70% from other studies [1][2][3][4][11][12][13] . This was due to the presence of ocular abnormalities: solar keratopathy (which is very common in this area); severe glaucomatous optic nerve atrophy; diabetic retinopathy; or macular scar; and not related to the procedure.…”
