AIM: To investigate the clinical effect of small-incision extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and trabeculectomy for glaucoma and cataract. METHODS: Totally 17 patients with glaucoma and cataract underwent the extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation and trabeculectomy, postoperative visual acuity, intraocular pressure and complications were observed. RESULTS: All the patients were returned to normal intraocular pressure range. Visual acuity was improved in different degrees. Early shallow anterior chamber occurred in 1 eye, and transient corneal edema occurred in 2 eyes. CONCLUSION: The small-incision glaucoma and cataract surgery is a safe and effective way.LA: Chinese
