Title: [Trabeculectomy combined with extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation].
Abstract: To evaluate the effect of trabeculectomy combined with extacapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation (triple surgeries) on the patients of coexisting cataract and glaucoma.18 cases (19 eyes) of coexisting cataract and glaucoma treated by the triple surgeries were reviewed. Mean follow-up was 14.7 months (rangs from 2 to 20 months).Intraocular pressure was controlled satisfyingly in all cases except one case required additional treatment of the anti-glaucoma drug. 78.9% of patients achieved 0.3 or better visual acuity. The operation complications consist of anterior uveitis and hyphaema. However, all of them were controlled within 14 days.The triple surgeries are safe and have definite effect on controlling the IOP and improving visual acuity.
