Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe and evaluate the success rate of combined
glaucoma and small cataract surgery by means of a one-site versus two-site approach.
Fifty-eight eyes of fifty-five patients undergoing combined surgery were operated: thirtyone
eyes underwent two-site approach and twenty-seven eyes underwent one-site approach.
Short term and long term mean intraocular pressure (IOP) was similar in both
groups. There was no significant difference in postoperative inflammation and complication
rates between two groups. There is no significant difference in the postoperative
results in those two different approaches to perform combined operations of cataract
and glaucoma.
