ABSTRACT
The author reviewed the effectiveness of triple procedure in terms of the visual acuity and the intraocular pressure control after 6 months follow up of twenty-four consecutive glaucoma patients who was treated with triple procedure trabeculectomy with simultaneous lens extraction and intraocular lens implanation. At 6 months after operation, the mean intraocular pressure was 7.0mmHg lower than the preoperative level, and the kind of glaucoma medication was decreased from 2.1 to 0.6. The visual acuity improved in 67% at two months and 93% at six months after operation, respectively. The several complications such as hyphema, shallow anterior chamber with wound leaking, posterior capsular opacity and uncontrolled intraocular pressure were appeared. Effectiveness of triple procedure in terms of intraocular pressure control and visual acuity improvement seems to be similar to that of the operation done separately.
