A retrospective study has been performed over 35 glaucomatous patients with a coexisting cataract, treated with a one-site (19 cases) or a two-site (16 cases) phacotrabeculectomy. First, effectiveness of both procedures has been proved by statisticly analysing the IOP and visual acuity changes after surgery. Normal distribution, homogeneity and homocedasticity from both groups have been checked. Finally, visual acuity and 6-month postoperatively IOP among both groups have been compared by means of a <
