Summary

This study was carried out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined phacoemulsification and Ultrasound ciliary plasty (Phaco-UCP) as a first-line surgical treatment of coexisting cataract and op /en angle glaucoma compared to phacoemulsification alone. To our knowledge, this is the first report of results of combined Phaco-UCP

Detailed description

the study involved 61 eyes of 61 patients with coexisting cataract and open angle glaucoma, 31 eyes were managed with Phaco-UCP and 30 eyes of age and sex matched patients were managed with phacoemulsification alone. Patients were randomized for either combined phacoemulsification and ultrasound ciliary plasty (Phaco-UCP) (the study group) or phacoemulsification alone (the control group). All surgeries were performed by one experienced surgeon (Y EZ). Preoperative evaluation included manifest refraction, BCVA measurement, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, gonioscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, measurement of IOP with Goldmann applanation tonometry (average of 3 readings taken). Corneal diameter (White-to-white) and axial length measurement were done using IOL Master 500 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG., Germany). Ultrasound pachymetry with Tomey SP-100 (Tomey Corp. Nagoya, Japan) and visual fields using Humphrey Field Analyzer (24-2, SITA, standard program Carl Zeiss Meditec AG., Germany) were also performed.
