Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma
Conditions
Keywords
glaucoma, cataract, surgery, intraocular pressure, phacoemulsification, trabeculotomy
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to determine whether combined cataract and glaucoma surgery (phacotrabeculotomy)is more effective in lowering intraocular pressure than cataract surgery alone in patients with borderline control of intraocular pressure.
Interventions
PROCEDUREPhacoemulsification, implantation of intraocular lens
PROCEDUREPhacoemulsification, Implantation of IOL, trabeculotomy
