AIM: To observe the efficacy of small incision extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy (tri-combining surgery) on glaucoma with cataract. METHODS: Among 62 eyes of glaucoma with cataract underwent the tri-combining surgery and the efficacy including corrected vision, intraocular pressure, filter blebs and complications were observed. RESULTS: Corrected vision was 0. 02-0. 25 in 12 of 62 eyes (19%),0. 3-1. 0 in 50 of 62 eyes (81%). Intraocular pressure was controlled in 60 of 62 eyes (97%), beside two eyes intraocular pressure were 21. 87 and 22.15mmHg postoperatively, but the two could be controlled through topical drugs. There were 54 flat fuctional filter blebs in 62 eyes (87%), 6 vesicular filter blebs and 2 inconspicuous filter blebs. The main postoperative complications were cornea edema (29 eyes, 47%), anterior chamber exudation (9 eyes, 15%) and shallow anterior chamber (6 eyes, 10%). CONCLUSION: Tri-combining surgery of glaucoma and cataract is a safe, effective and lesser complications operation which is good for popularization at grass-roots hospitals. LA: Chinese
