AIM: To evaluate the effect of small incision nonphacoemulsification cataract intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in treatment of glaucoma with cataract. METHODS: Retrospective study was conducted in 32 cases 32 eyes of chronic angle-closure glaucoma with cataract. All the patients underwent small incision nonphacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with trabeculectomy. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 7.3 months (6-9 months), 27 eyes ( 84% ) had the best-corrected visual acuity at or above 0.3. All the IOP was controlled in normal range. The mean IOP was reduced to 13. 50(plus or minus)5.30mmHg, functional filtering bleb in 28 eyes(88%). No serious complica-tions occurred in or after operation. CONCLUSION: Small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract extraction combined with trabeculectomy is a safe, effective and economic method in the treatment of chronic angle-closure glaucoma with cataract.LA: Chinese
