Abstract:

Cataract and glaucoma frequently occur in elderly patients. And they are often comorbidities that need to be managed simultaneously. It is important for clinicians to evaluate the severity of the diseases and to choose the optimal treatment of these individuals, which can both control the intraocular pressure and improve the visual acuity.
