Summary
The long-term postoperative refractive outcomes of phacotrabeculectomy and phacoemulsification alone were not significantly different in eyes with OAG, regardless of preoperative AL.
Abstract
PURPOSE
To compare long-term postoperative refractive outcomes between phacotrabeculectomy and phacoemulsification, both with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.
SETTING
Department of Ophthalmology, Konyang University, Kim's Eye Hospital, Myung-Gok Eye Research Institute, Seoul, South Korea.
DESIGN
Retrospective comparative study.
METHODS
Postoperative refractive outcomes were compared between patients with cataract and coexisting primary or secondary open-angle glaucoma (OAG) who had phacotrabeculectomy (combined group) and patients with cataract with or without coexisting OAG who had phacoemulsification alone (phaco-only group). The refractive prediction error, mean absolute error, and median absolute error were compared between groups. Subgroup analysis based on preoperative axial length (AL) was performed (medium >22.0 to .05).
CONCLUSION
The long-term postoperative refractive outcomes of phacotrabeculectomy and phacoemulsification alone were not significantly different in eyes with OAG, regardless of preoperative AL.
