This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a procedure called gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) combined with cataract surgery in people who have both open-angle glaucoma and cataracts. The study compares three groups: people who receive cataract surgery plus GATT treatment covering the full drainage system, people who receive cataract surgery plus GATT covering half the drainage system, and people who receive cataract surgery alone. Over two years, researchers will measure whether this combined approach lowers eye pressure better and reduces the need for glaucoma medications.
People with both glaucoma and cataracts typically need two separate surgeries. This trial explores whether doing both procedures together — particularly adding the new GATT technique — might better control eye pressure and reduce the number of medications patients need long-term.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups and undergo cataract surgery combined with either full or partial glaucoma treatment, or cataract surgery alone. The study involves office visits and eye exams over two years to measure your eye pressure, vision, medication use, and quality of life. Researchers will also check the health of your cornea and look for any side effects from the procedures.
