Popis: To investigate the efficacy and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) with or without cataract extraction (CE) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEX) patients. A retrospective, non-randomized study included 108 eyes of 108 patients, with a mean age of 65.96 ± 14.84 years, who underwent GATT to treat open-angle glaucoma. We have compared two groups, GATT alone or GATT combined with CE and followed-up minimum for 12 months. Preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) compared with final IOP, medication numbers, and BCVA levels. Surgical success was determined as IOP reduction > 20% from baseline, IOP between 5–21 mmHg, if surgery was done for intolerance to medications, preoperative
