Résumé
Purpose@#To identify the clinical outcomes of cataract surgery in patients with advanced glaucoma. @*Methods@#A retrospective chart review of open-angle glaucoma patients who underwent cataract surgery and were followed-up for 1 year was conducted. Advanced glaucoma was defined as a mean deviation (MD) 0.05). Both groups evidenced VA improvements at 1 year postoperatively and the visual field (VF) indices did not differ from those before surgery. The numbers of antiglaucoma medications used decreased after surgery, but the decrease was significant only in the advanced glaucoma group (p = 0.030). @*Conclusions@#The advanced and mild-to-moderate glaucoma groups evidenced similar IOP and VF changes after cataract surgery. The VA improved and the number of antiglaucoma medications decreased. Our findings suggest that cataract surgery for patients with advanced glaucoma may afford similar clinical outcomes compared to other less severe glaucoma groups.
