description The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of ab interno microhook trabeculotomy (µLOT) before and after cataract surgery for the combination of µLOT and cataract surgery. This retrospective case series included 40 eyes that underwent µLOT combined with cataract surgery at Kochi University Hospital. Groups 1 (20 eyes) and 2 (20 eyes) included eyes that underwent µLOT before and after cataract surgery, respectively. The patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were also analyzed. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) in Groups 1 and 2 (26.1 ± 12.2 mmHg and 20.6 ± 8.8 mmHg) was reduced significantly to 14.1 ± 3.3 mmHg and 12.9 ± 3.2 mmHg, respectively, at 5–7 months postoperatively. The median preoperative number of antiglaucoma medications in Groups 1 and 2 (4.0 and 3.5) also decreased significantly, to 2.5 and 1.0, respectively, at 5–7 months postoperatively. Postoperative hyphema with niveau formation in Groups 1 and 2 was observed in one eye (5.0%) and six eyes (30.0%), respectively. For the combination of µLOT and cataract surgery, performing µLOT before cataract surgery may be less likely to result in postoperative hyphema with niveau formation.
