【摘要】 As cataract occurs frequently in patients with glaucoma,combining phacoemulsification and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation has been gaining attention recently due to its minimally invasive nature.A variety of studies had evaluated the efficacy and safety of this procedure and had shown extremely promising Results.This review article has shown here that combined phacoemulsification and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation procedure could effectively reduce intraocular pressure in medically uncontrolled glaucoma patients while avoiding serious complications associated with traditional cyclophotocoagulation procedures and adverse effects related to filtering surgery such as trabeculectomy.However,more data is needed regarding its long-term effects and appropriate parameters for treatment,if we are to formally expand the indication and apply this procedure to patients with moderate or even mild glaucoma as a first-line treatment.更多还原
