Description
Summary:AIM: To observe the efficiency of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in the treatment of cataract and glaucoma. <p>METHODS:Totally 60 patients(70 eyes)with cataract and glaucoma were included between March 2010 and March 2012 in our hospital. The phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation was performed. The observation of surgical efficiency, including the patient's IOP, anterior chamber depth, vision and complications, were compared before and after surgery. <p>RESULTS:Compared with preoperation, the patients' vision and anterior chamber depth were increased and the IOP was reduced significantly(<i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation is a safe and effective treatment for cataract and glaucoma.
