    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The aim of the study was the estimation of phacotrabeculectomy effectiveness in patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The analyzed group consisted of 72 eyes of 65 patients in the range of 61-92 years old. 32 patients have phacoemulsification procedure (gr. I) and 40 patients have performed the procedure of the phacotrabeculectomy (gr. II). RESULTS: In 60% of the eyes marked postoperative improvement of visual acuity to more than 0.6 was observed. We noticed significant decrease of mean intraocular pressure (from 22.45 mmHg-17.88 mmHg), only in group II. CONCLUSIONS: We have concluded that the polyprocedular operation of phacotrabeculectomy in cataract with pseudoexfolation syndrome is an efficient procedure lowering mean intraocular pressure and improving visual acuity.
