Abstract Background To investigate long-term outcomes of prediction error after phacotrabeculectomy and to determine risk factors that may cause unstable in glaucoma patients. Methods A total 120 eyes patients who had underwent uncomplicated (combined group) or phacoemulsification (phaco-only were included. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) measured before surgery,...

Objectives: The objective of this study is to have an expanded evaluation on the effect phacotrabeculectomy ocular biometric (ACD/anterior chamber depth, lens thickness), gonioscopic and intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).
 Methods: A cohort PACG patient who underwent from September 2018- March 2019 at Dr.Kariadi hospital. Preoperative secondary data baseli...

PURPOSE This paper proposed to evaluate the tear fluid mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) change in Chinese primary angle-closure glaucoma and cataract patients after short-term medications and phacotrabeculectomy. METHODS Twenty-five eyes of 25 consecutive Chinese patients with coexisting visually significant cataract and angle-closure glaucoma and 40 eyes of 40 volunteers enrolled in this study were invest...

BACKGROUND Chronic use of intraocular pressure-lowering medications is associated with ocular surface disease (OSD). In this study, we assess the incidence of topical lubricant use as a surrogate marker for underlying OSD, in medically and surgically treated glaucoma patients. METHODS Retrospective chart review was performed for newly diagnosed glaucoma patients who were started on topical me...

The literature on combined surgery in the treatment of patients with cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma was comprehensively studied, and all aspects and variations of the combined procedure were assessed. Phacoemulsification has improved the success rate and reduced the complication rate previously associated with extracapsular cataract extraction combined with trabeculectomy. A mean redu...

PURPOSE The comparison of one-site versus two-site phacotrabeculectomy in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), with respect to intraocular pressure (IOP), antiglaucomatous medication (AM) requirements and visual acuity (VA). METHODS Forty-seven patients (eyes) with cataract and POAG and 46 sex- and age-matched patients with cataract and PEXG ...

purpose: to evaluate ocular biometric changes after phacotrabeculectomy and its effect on intraocular lens power calculation. methods: twenty six eligible eyes (24 patients) underwent phacotrabeculectomy. they were reexamined at least 6 months after the operation in a historical cohort study. main outcome measures included axial length (al) with contact a- scan (us-8000, nidek, gamaguri, japan)...

purpose: to compare the success rate of mitomycin-c versus bevacizumab for prevention of bleb failure following phacotrabeculectomy. method: in this study 74 eyes of 69 patients with uncontrolled iop, progressive visual field loss and cataract were randomized in two groups. in the first group, after conjunctival peritomy at the sclera flap site, sponge pats soaked in mitomycin c with concentrat...
