Abstract
- Glaucoma and cataract frequently coexist in the geriatric population. As the combined operation for glaucoma and cataract is still a controversial subject, several authors have recently used trabeculectomy in combination with cataract extraction with good results. In our combined trabeculectomy and cataract extraction procedure on 10 eyes of 9 patients, there was a 60% average decrease in intraocular pressure from 40.0 mmHg to 16.5 mmHg. Visual acuity improved in all cases. The postoperative complications were few. According to our follow-up findings, the combined procedure is no more traumatic than an ordinary cataract extraction.
