Long-term intraocular pressure control after cataract extraction with trabeculectomy: Phacoemulsification versus extracapsular technique

Abstract

After both ECCE + TRAB and phacotrabeculectomy, IOP control was achieved in significantly more eyes on fewer pressure-lowering medications than preoperatively. Phacotrabeculectomy with IOL implantation led to better unaided long-term postoperative IOP control than ECCE + TRAB with IOL implantation.
