Methods: A retrospective study, included 41 eyes that evaluates the results of the Phaco+ECP performed 2011 and 2013 at Oftalmosalud Eye Institute in Lima, Peru. It was evaluated best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) preoperatively and 1 day, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after ECP, and the number of anti-glaucomatous drugs administered was noted preoperatively and at 1 and 2 years after surgery. Success rate was defined as IOP ≤ 18 mmHg with or without medication at 1 and 2 years postop.
