Abstract
Purpose of review: This review evaluates the surgical management of glaucoma in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Combining both procedures present challenges in balancing intraocular pressure (IOP) control, minimizing postoperative complications, and achieving optimal refractive outcomes.
Recent findings: Recent studies highlight the effectiveness of combined glaucoma and cataract surgeries, with traditional filtering surgeries and MIGS showing significant IOP reduction. The abundance of long-term studies shows that MIGS can offer an effective and safer alternative when carefully tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Summary: Combining glaucoma and cataract surgery is a promising approach for patients with coexisting conditions. While traditional surgeries offer robust IOP reduction, MIGS procedures offer better safety profiles with fewer complications and more predictable refractive results. Surgeons must carefully consider the timing and choice of procedures, with further research required to develop standardized treatment algorithms.
