title: [A follow-up study of combined cataract/trabeculectomy operation].
abstract: In the past 12 years 69 combined trabeculectomy/cataract operations have been performed at Graz University Eye Clinic. Of these, 33 were examined after an average interval of three years. In 23 cases intraocular pressure was regulated without therapy, and four eyes were regulated with additional therapy. In five eyes no satisfactory pressure could be reached and one eye was lost due to late infection. In ten cases a hyphema appeared; in seven cases registered a rise in intraocular pressure was recorded and in two cases a flat chamber. In view of the great variety of indications this method seems to be especially suitable for elderly patients.
