Abstract
Glaucoma is a progressive disease and is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide. The global prevalence of glaucoma in the world is growing and will increase to 111,8 million people by 2040. Any surgical treatment for glaucoma is aimed at reducing intraocular pressure in order to prevent further vision loss. Traditionally, facoemulsification is considered to remove cataracts and improve vision, and surgical treatment of glaucoma to reduce intraocular pressure.
This review article examines the role and effectiveness of phacoemulsification in various forms of glaucoma, which allows us to evaluate this operation not only from a traditional point of view, but also as a modern microinvasive surgical procedure in the treatment of glaucoma.
