Double incision trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for glaucoma complicated with cataract

Abstract

AIM:To investigate the effect of double incision trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for the treatment of glaucoma complicated with cataract. METHODS:Selected 36 patients(40 eyes)with acute or chronic angle-closure glaucoma and cataract in our hospital from June 2014 to January 2016 were treated with double incision trabeculectomy combined phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. All patients were followed up for 1mo to observe preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, anterior chamber depth, scope of anterior chamber angle open and intraocular pressure. At the same time, we observed the patients' postoperative filtering bleb and intraoperative and postoperative complications.RESULTS: Intraocular pressure before treatment were between 19-36mmHg, the average was 26.02±2.42 mmHg, and after the treatment intraocular pressure was patients between 11-22mmHg, the average was 13.62±4.38 mmHg, preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure had the obvious difference(t=33.273, Pt=5.832, 5.924, 33.293, PCONCLUSION: Double incision trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for glaucoma with cataract can effectively improve the patient's vision, and can better control the intraocular pressure after surgery.
