Phaco-trabeculectomy is the preferred combined procedure for the surgical co-management of eyes with both cataract and glaucoma. SICS- trabeculectomy comes handy if facilities are not available or intra-operative surgical conversion is mandated because of some unforeseen complication. Both techniques need a practical
knowledge of the surgical anatomy and meticulous attention to surgical detail like clean conjunctival dissection, intra-operative titration of aqueous flow, use of releasable sutures and water-tight conjunctival closure. Post-operative care and intervention, if needed, also remain crucial in achieving long-term success. This IC
