Abstract

Cataract and glaucoma are common entities that frequently coexist, especially in older individuals. The management of either requires consideration of both, particularly when surgical intervention is contemplated. The decision for cataract or glaucoma surgery, or combined cataract and glaucoma surgery, necessitates evaluation of the need for visual rehabilitation and the urgency of intraocular pressure (IOP) control.
