Abstract
Purpose: To compare the results of one-site versus two-site combined glaucoma filtration and
phacoemulsification surgery with respect to visual acuity (VA) and intraocular pressure (IOP)
control. Methodology: A prospective study was conducted on 40 patients with glaucoma and
cataract. Cases will be divided into two random groups: Group A: 20 eyes were subjected to one site
Phacotrabeculectomy. Group B: 2o eyes were subjected to two-site Phacotrabeculectomy. The
results were compared within one week, one month, three months and sex months postoperative as regards VA and IOP. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in VA
and IOP in pre-operative and post-operative conditions in the whole patients. There was no
statistically significant difference in VA and IOP post-operatively between the two groups.
Conclusion: The similar and excellent results achieved in the 2 groups imply that either technique
might be used to handle the problem of concurrent cataract and glaucoma in many patients.
