Combination of antiglaucomatous surgery and cataract extraction by corneal incision

Abstract

The combination of primary. Glaucoma and cataract in one eye, according to different authors, occurs from 3 to 17%. Some authors recommend in such cases step-by-step operations - at the beginning antiglaucomatous, and then, at various times after it, cataract extraction. Other ophthalmic surgeons, especially in recent decades, prefer the option of combining antiglaucomatous surgery with cataract extraction by an incision along the limbus.
