Efficacy and Safety of Cataract Surgery-Assisted Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect and safety of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) with same-day cataract surgery which we named cataract surgery-assisted selective laser trabeculoplasty (CAST) compared to conventional SLT and cataract surgery as standalone procedures.

Methods

Patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and cataract were included in this prospective interventional study. All patients received either a CAST procedure, standard SLT, or standard cataract surgery. IOP was assessed at baseline and at months 1, 2, 3, and 6. Topical IOP-lowering medication was canceled during the follow-up if necessary.

Results

Twenty-nine, twenty-seven, and thirty eyes received the CAST procedure, SLT, and standard cataract surgery, respect
