ABSTRACT
With the advancing age there is an increased incidence of both cataract and glaucoma and both of them cause a decrease in vision. Both these diseases are preventable cause of blindness. Cataract and glaucoma may be found to coexist in one eye and sometimes cataract can lead to glaucoma or long-term miotic therapy for glaucoma can lead to cataract formation. As the life expectancy is increasing so is the incidence of coexisting cataract with glaucoma is increasing and the challenge of managing coexisting glaucoma and cataract is becoming ever more frequent.1 Beside the difficulty in diagnosis of glaucoma in the presence of cataract there are many other problems to be considered in the surgical management of glaucoma such as compliance of the patient, side effects and cost, etc.
