Abstract
- We performed the combined trabeculectomy and extracapsular cataract extraction on 8 eyes of 8 patients with coexisting glaucoma and cataract during the period of April 1986 through March 1987. The mean postoperative intraocular pressure was reduced by approximately 46%, from 27.2 + 3.9mmHg preoperatively to 14.6 + 3.1mmHg postoperatively. 7 of the 8 eyes required no medication, but one needed topical medication for adequate control of the intraocular pressure, postoperatively. Visual acuity improved in 7 of the 8 eyes, but remained unchanged in one eye. Postoperative complications were few. We concluded that the combined trabeculectomy and extracapsular cataract extraction was safe and effective procedure.
