Abstract

The article highlights several options for cataract/glaucoma treatment. It mentions that cataract surgery offers the advantage of faster visual recovery, better astigmatism management and easier use of topical or intraocular anesthesia compared to other treatments. It suggests that combined glaucoma and cataract surgery should be performed on patients with visually significant cataract and high intraocular pressure with moderate visual field loss among others.
