Brief Summary:

This study was carried out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined phacoemulsification and Ultrasound ciliary plasty (Phaco-UCP) as a first-line surgical treatment of coexisting cataract and op

/en angle glaucoma compared to phacoemulsification alone. To our knowledge, this is the first report of results of combined Phaco-UCP


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cataract Glaucoma, Open-Angle Procedure: combined phacoemulsification and ultrasound ciliary plasty (Phaco-UCP) Procedure: Phacoemulsification alone Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

the study involved 61 eyes of 61 patients with coexisting cataract and open angle glaucoma, 31 eyes were managed with Phaco-UCP and 30 eyes of age and sex matched patients were managed with phacoemulsification alone.

Patients were randomized for either combined phacoemulsification and ultrasound ciliary plasty (Phaco-UCP) (the study group) or phacoemulsification alone (the control group). All surgeries were performed by one experienced surgeon (Y EZ).

Preoperative evaluation included manifest refraction, BCVA measurement, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, gonioscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, measurement of IOP with Goldmann applanation tonometry (average of 3 readings taken). Corneal diameter (White-to-white) and axial length measurement were done using IOL Master 500 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG., Germany). Ultrasound pachymetry with Tomey SP-100 (Tomey Corp. Nagoya, Japan) and visual fields using Humphrey Field Analyzer (24-2, SITA, standard program Carl Zeiss Meditec AG., Germany) were also performed.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: phaco-UCP
Under peribulbar anesthesia, UCP was performed first, followed by phacoemulsification. UCP was performed using the same technique described before [18]. For all treatments, 2nd generation probe was used (EyeOP1, Eye Tech care; France) with the same parameters; Operating frequency was 21 MHz. Number of sectors activated was 6. Acoustic power was 2.45 W; duration of each shot was 8s; and the time between shots was 20s. The probe diameter (11, 12 or 13 mm) was determined according to the eye's biometric readings. The coupling cone was centered on the eye and kept in place with low vacuum suction, followed by introduction of the treatment probe inside the cone, then activation of the transducers by constantly pressing the foot switch. Once UCP treatment was finished, phacoemulsification was commenced
 Procedure: combined phacoemulsification and ultrasound ciliary plasty (Phaco-UCP)
performing ultrasound ciliary plasty then performing standard phacoemulsification
Active Comparator: Phaco alone
A standard phacoemulsification was performed with 2.2 mm clear corneal incision, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, phacoemulsification and intrabagal implantation of foldable acrylic intraocular lens (AcrySof® IQ SN60WF monofocal; Alcon Laboratories Inc, Fort Worth, TX, USA) for all patients. Irrigation-aspiration was performed for at least 30 seconds to remove any viscoelastic from the anterior chamber. Reformation of the anterior chamber was done with balanced saline solution (BSS), followed by hydration of the corneal wound and side port.
 Procedure: Phacoemulsification alone
standard phacoemulsification for catarct extraction


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. reduction in intraocular pressure [ Time Frame: 18 months postoperative ]
    Qualified Success was defined as an IOP reduction of at least 20 % from baseline value, with an IOP that is between 6 - 21 mm Hg, without the need for additional antiglaucoma medications or glaucoma surgery

  2. reduction in r the number of antiglaucoma medications. [ Time Frame: 18 months postoperative ]
    reduction of the number of antiglaucoma medication or at least no increase in the number


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. BCVA improvement [ Time Frame: 18 months postoperative ]
    improvement of best corrected visual acuity

  2. intraoperative and postoperative complications. [ Time Frame: intraoperative and 18 months postoperative ]
    hyphema or vitreous hemorrhage necessitating surgical intervention, choroidal hemorrhage, chronic uveitis, endophthalmitis, hypotony (IOP ≤ 5 mm Hg), phthisis, IOL dislocation, and retinal detachment.
