[Analysis of combined glaucoma and cataract operations with intraocular lens implantation: a study based on own material].
OBJECTIVE
To analyse results and complications of glaucoma and cataract surgery with IOL implantation.


METHODS
28 patients (32 eyes) underwent glaucoma and cataract surgery with IOL implantation during the period of January 1998-December 1999. The follow up time ranged from 6 to 30 months.


RESULTS
Postoperative visual acuity was 5/12-5/5 in 78.13% of cases. Intraoperatively there were 4 patients of posterior capsule tears with vitreous loss. The most common postoperative complications were Descemet's membrane folds (28.13%), corneal oedema (21.87%) and increased intraocular pressure (18.75%), but they were only transitory. Finally postoperative intraocular pressure was good in 93.76%. In 2 cases glaucoma medication was longer required. Delayed follow-up showed that visual field deteriorated before surgery had not worsened.


CONCLUSIONS
Combined, simultaneous operation of glaucoma and cataract does not seem to give rise to more complications than both procedures performed separately. The procedure is safe and gives good visual rehabilitation.
