The combined cataract-glaucoma surgery is a procedure gaining a higher role in the surgical treatment for patients having both cataract and glaucoma. Both these pathologies are strongly related to the age. A good knowledge of surgical indications and techniques, complications and postoperative follow-up can improve the outcome of this surgery, which is considered to be the best technique in the treatment of combined cataract and glaucoma. The combined glaucoma and cataract surgery enables us to lower the intraocular pressure and gain in visual acuity in one surgery, with the treatment of two distinct disorders. This kind of surgery requires a close follow-up to spot and manage the post-operative complications.
