Combined phacoviscocanalostomy versus phacoemulsification alone in patients with coexisting cataract and mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma; a randomized-controlled trial.

Although both phacoemulsification alone and phacoviscocanalostomy procedures can be considered for patients with mild-to-moderate OAG, we found better success rates using phacoviscocanalostomy. Therefore, if the surgeon is an expert in performing this technique, this non-penetrating procedure can be applied in patients with visually significant cataract and earlier stages of OAG, especially in patients with PEXG.
