Can glaucoma and cataracts be operated on at the same time?

Patient's question:

One year has passed, the treatment and its effects remain unclear: None

Doctor's answer:

Principally, both types of surgery should be performed separately, but if it is necessary to do them together, there is no harm in it, as long as it meets the indications for surgery.
Advice: For some people with glaucoma, the condition may have already worsened to the point where there is no longer a gradual improvement in vision. Even if cataract surgery is performed, it may not lead to gradual vision improvement. Therefore, there is no need to insist on performing both surgeries simultaneously.
