Group A: includes eyes for whom combined phacoaspiration & angle surgery will be done.
Group B : includes eyes with only phacoaspiration will be done
Group A: for whom combined phacoaspiration & angle surgery trabeculotomy will be done. continuous curvilinear anterior capsulorhexis of approximately 5.0 mm diameter will be done. The nucleus and cortex will be aspirated. Posterior capsulrehxis and limited anterior vitrectomy will be done. Corneal incisions will be sutured with 10-0 Nylon suture. Using metal trabeculotomes to open thetrabecular meshwork after accessing the canal of schlemm. Suturing of scleral flap with 10-0 Nylon suture.
Group B: for whom phacoaspiration only will be done. 2 side ports will be fashioned. Trypan blue will be injected to aid visualization of the anterior capsule & continuous curvilinear anterior capsulorhexis of approximately 5.0 mm diameter will be done. The nucleus and cortex will be aspirated. Posterior capsulrehxis and limited anterior vitrectomy will be done. Corneal incisions will be sutured with 10-0 Nylon suture.
