AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of vitreous aspiration in continuous high-tension glaucoma cataract surgery. METHODS: Twenty-eight cases (28 eyes) with continuous high-tension glaucoma and cataract underwent vitreous aspiration first, and then triple-line glaucoma cataract surgery. RESULTS: Postoperative complications included shallow anterior chamber, malignant glaucoma, poorly controlled intraocular pressure, hyphema, iritis, vitreous hemorrhage, posterior capsular opacity, etc.; after 1 week, and 6-12 months, respectively, the average IOPs were (17.20 (plus or minus) 5.11) mmHg and ( 14. 57 (plus or minus) 7. 33) mmHg, the difference compared with that of the preoperative was statistically significant ( t = 17.40, P < 0. 05, r = 16. 06, P < 0.05 ), Visual acuity was improved two lines or more, 1 line, 0 line in 12,8,8 eyes and 12,10,6 eyes respectively, and compared with that of the preoperative, the difference was statistically significant ( F = 5. 24, P < 0. 05, F= 5. 78, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Vitreous aspiration in advance can quickly reduce the intraocular pressure, reconstruct anterior chamber, and is safe and effective for the treatment of continuous high-tension glaucoma cataract.
