In individuals with both cataract and glaucoma, phacoemulsification alone can substantially reduce IOP. However, to achieve better pressure control, combining cataract surgery with cyclophotocoagulation has gained attention as an effective approach. Among the available methods, micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TCP) and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) represent two techniques that target the ciliary body through distinct mechanisms, differing in their level of invasiveness and therapeutic outcomes. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of phacoemulsification combined with MP-TCP compared with phacoemulsification combined with ECP in patients presenting with both cataract and glaucoma.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>In this randomized trial-based study, adults aged 40-80 years undergoing cataract surgery with glaucoma were enrolled and randomized to receive either phaco + MP-TCP or phaco + ECP. Primary outcomes included variations in IOP, several IOP-lowering therapeutics, clarity of vision [logMAR (minimum angle of resolution)], and complications observed over 12 months postoperative follow-up.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Baseline characteristics were comparable between ECP (24 eyes) and MP-TCP (15 eyes) groups. Both interventions significantly reduced IOP over time, with the endoscope group showing greater early reductions at 1 week and 3 months, although differences were no longer significant by 6 and 12 months. Medication burden decreased in both groups, with MP demonstrating a greater reduction at 1 week but no significant differences afterward.
