AB - Purpose To determine the efficacy of safe Introduction surgery system trabeculectomy combined Glaucoma is the second leading cause of with manual small incision cataract surgery/ blindness in India, which is predicted to affect phacoemulsification in primary glaucoma approximately 20% of the world’s glaucoma coexistent with cataract. population by 2020. The prevalence of Methods This is a retrospective analysis of glaucoma in India has been reported by various 105 cases who underwent single-site epidemiological studies and is estimated to be combined surgery between January 2008 and approximately 11.2 million people aged Z40 December 2009. Safe surgery system years. In developing countries, glaucoma is trabeculectomy with diffuse and posterior generally diagnosed at an advanced stage, only application of mitomycin C was performed in when the patient seeks advice for cataract all cases. Cataract extraction was done either surgery. Trabeculectomy is thus performed as a by Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery primary procedure with cataract extraction and (MSICS) or phacoemulsification. Main 3,4 implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL). outcome measures were success rate of Combined surgery has an advantage of trabeculectomy, as determined by four controlling IOP without requiring the use of 1 different IOP goals and incidence of Department of lifelong
