OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) control in patients that had undergone combined extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), lens implant and glaucoma surgery and compare the results obtained by the longer and shorter follow-up groups. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study of postoperative results with a minimum follow-up of one year, maximum of 10 years and a mean of 33.1 months. SETTING: Department of Opthalmology, ‘La Fe’ University Hospital. Department of Surgery of Valencia School of Medicine, Valencia, Spain. PATIENTS: Ninety-five eyes examined of 72 patients presenting coexisting cataract and glaucoma who underwent combined surgery in the last 11 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: IOP, best-corrected visual acuity, medications, complications and full eye examinations were recorded. RESULTS: Overall, the mean postoperative IOP (19.7 ± 5.2 mmHg/m ± DS) was significantly lower (P 21 mmHg)—40% of eyes—and significant (P
