Effect of cataract phacoemulsification on intraocular pressure of patients in the early stages of open-angle glaucoma

Purpose: To compare the combination procedure (modified tunnel trabeculopuncture (MTTP) plus phaco with monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation) in the eye with both senile cataract and either advanced or medically uncompensated open-angle glaucoma (OAG) versus phaco with IOL implantation only...

Description
Summary:Purpose: To compare the combination procedure (modified tunnel trabeculopuncture (MTTP) plus phaco with monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation) in the eye with both senile cataract and either advanced or medically uncompensated open-angle glaucoma (OAG) versus phaco with IOL implantation only in the eye with early well-compensated POAG in terms of hypotensive effect and the number of topical glaucoma medications needed. Material and Methods: Totally, 97 patients (194 eyes; age, 60 to 85 years) with bilateral OAG and senile cataract were involved in the study. Groups and time points were compared in terms of IOP and the number of topical glaucoma medications needed. Results: For both groups, there was a significant difference (Р
