Combined cataract extraction and trabeculotomy by the internal approach for coexisting cataract and open-angle glaucoma

To provide efficacy and safety of surgery with Trabectome combined with phacoemulsification in primary open-angle glaucoma.
In this interventional case series, 30 consecutive eyes that have had combined phacoemulsification with Trabectome were included. The main outcome measures were change in intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medication use, and the rate of complications.
Mean IOP was 18.25 ± 3.28 mmHg preoperatively which decreased to 13.50 ± 2.53 mmHg at 1 year. (P Combined phacoemulsification and Trabectome significantly lowered IOP and medication use, with early visual rehabilitation in the majority of patients.
