The paper analyzed the immediate and late results (the state of intraocular pressure and visual functions) of combined surgery for cataract and glaucoma, by using the developed instrument. Eighteen patients (19 eyes) aged 54 to 92 years who had open-angle glaucoma or phacotopic glaucoma (dislocation of the lens to the vitreous body) and cataract underwent combined surgery involving extraction of cataract, its phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation through the scleral tunnel, and sinus trabeculectomy (STE) performed with a perforator, the instrument developed by the authors. The findings confirm the efficiency of the combined surgery (STE) with cataract extraction through variously extended scleral tunnels in patients with open-angle glaucoma, normalizing intraocular pressure and improving visual functions by one-stage surgery. Combined surgery for cataract extraction with IOL implantation through the scleral tunnel and STE, which is performed with the instrument proposed by the authors, has been put into practice.
