AIM: To evaluate the clinical effects of dual-incision phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in cataract and glaucoma patients.

METHODS: To observe the visual acuity, intraocular pressure and complications for 3-12mo after surgery as a retrospective study of 65 patients(70 eyes)with cataract and glaucoma.

RESULTS: The visual acuity of 2 eyes was lower than 0.1, 6 eyes were ranged from 0.1 to 0.3, 60 eyes were from 0.4 to 0.8, 2 eyes were over 1.0. The postoperative intraocular pressure of 26 eyes were effective controlled. The postoperative shallow anterior chamber occurred in 1 eye.

CONCLUSION: It is an ideal treatment to take dual-incision phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with trabeculectomy in cataract and glaucoma patients and it shows better effects than normal operation method.
