AIM: To study the methods of cataract ultrasonic emulsification through lucid cornea incision after anti-glaucoma filtering operation and the effects on filter vesicle. METHODS: In 45 cases (45 eyes) of patients with cataract undergoing glaucoma trabeculectomy, the ultrasonic emulsification aspiration and implantation of an artificial lens by temporal lucid cornea incision were carried out, the fixed small pupils were dilated and the adhered pupils behind sclera were bluntly separated. RESULTS: The vision of the patients receiving cataract operation was improved by different degrees. The 80% patients' vision ≥ 0.5. Temporal ocular hypertesion occurred in three cases and recovered to normal after massage. The rest of ocular pressures were all normal. There was scarring in one eye's filter vesicle seven years after the glaucoma operation, with no distinct differences compared with preoperation. CONCLUSION: The cataract ultrasonic emulsification through temporal lucid cornea incision after anti-glaucoma filtering operation can improve the vision without effects on the primary filter vesicle functions.
