AIM: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of phacoemulsification and intraocular foldable lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy through single incision in patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma coexisting cataract. METHODS: This retrospective study included 152 consecutive patients who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular foldable lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy through single incision. All patients underwent accepted follow up for 6-24 months, mean 16 months. RESULTS: Postoperative visual acuity of 89 eyes was 0.3-0.5 (54.3%).
