Abstract

Aims: To know the visual outcome and IOP control after combined trabeculectomy

Settings and Design: All patients diagnosed to have significant cataract and diagnosed glaucoma

were included in study.

Methodology: After taking consent, combined surgery was performed and post-op follow up was done and results analyzed.

Results: At 6 weeks postoperatively, 76.7% had vision 6/9 or better, 16.7% had between 6/12 to 6/18, 6.7% less than 6/18.Postoperatively at 6weeks, 8week, and 6months, IOP was 13.81, 13.91 and 12.72mmHg

respectively in case of POAG and 19.75,18.00 and 17.25mmHg in case of PACG.

Conclusions: The study has showed the postoperative visual outcome and control of intraocular pressure is better with combined trabeculectomy with cataract surgery.
