BACKGROUND/AIMS: To describe the long term results of cases of cataract extraction combined with either Molteno implant insertion or trabeculectomy for primary open angle glaucoma. METHODS: This prospective case series followed cases which had cataract extraction and Molteno implant insertion (45 eyes) or trabeculectomy (94 eyes) followed up for a mean of 5.3 years and 3.9 years respectively. RESULTS: Cataract extraction and Molteno implant insertion or trabeculectomy controlled the intraocular pressure at 21 mmHg or less with a probability of 1.00 (95% CI 0.93 to 1.00) at 10 years or more after operation and 0.94 (95% CI 0.89 to 0.99) and 0.73 (95% CI 0.46 to 0.99) at five and 10 years after operation respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Cataract extraction combined with insertion of Molteno implants or trabeculectomy controlled the intraocular pressure in 100% (45/45) and 94% (88/94) of cases respectively.
