[The estimation of efficacy of the phacotrabeculectomy procedure in patient with cataract and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was the estimation of phacotrabeculectomy effectiveness in patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.


METHODS
The analyzed group consisted of 72 eyes of 65 patients in the range of 61-92 years old. 32 patients have phacoemulsification procedure (gr. I) and 40 patients have performed the procedure of the phacotrabeculectomy (gr. II).


RESULTS
In 60% of the eyes marked postoperative improvement of visual acuity to more than 0.6 was observed. We noticed significant decrease of mean intraocular pressure (from 22.45 mmHg-17.88 mmHg), only in group II.


CONCLUSIONS
We have concluded that the polyprocedular operation of phacotrabeculectomy in cataract with pseudoexfolation syndrome is an efficient procedure lowering mean intraocular pressure and improving visual acuity.
