Can I have cataract surgery if I have glaucoma?

Yes, you can have cataract surgery if you have co-existent glaucoma. In fact, cataract surgery is the treatment of choice for certain lens induced glaucomas wherein a hypermature cataract causes glaucoma due to protein leak or a bulky cataract causes pupil block and causes a rise in intraocular pressure. In such cases, cataract surgery reduces the intraocular pressure along with the restoration of vision.
