Abstract
Age is an important risk factor for both glaucoma and cataract. As global life expectancy continues to rise, the prevalence of concomitant open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and cataracts is increasing. Currently, there is a lack of definitive consensus on the optimal management approach for such individuals. Conventionally, trabeculectomy (Trab) in combination with phacoemulsification is the preferred method. Recent developments in microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), which offer similar results with fewer complications, provide a new possible approach to this condition. This study aimed to assess the current knowledge of combination surgery in patients with cataract and OAG to provide a comprehensive understanding and help its implementation in clinical settings. A comprehensive systematic search was conducted in May 2021 on five databases (MEDLINE, Embase, SCOPUS, Proquest, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library). The results were filtered for English and human studies but not publication year. All studies published up to May 2021 were reviewed. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and PEDro scale were used to screen studies for risk of bias where appropriate. Four studies satisfied the inclusion criteria and were subsequently added in this review. Study designs consisted of one RCT and three descriptive studies. Appropriate assessment tools were used; these studies demonstrated moderate to good quality. Postoperative mean IOP, IOP reduction, and qualified success rates were comparable in the Phaco-MIGS (Phaco-endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP), Phaco-ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT)) and Phaco-Trab group. Severe complication was reported only in the latter. Phaco-MIGS (in particular, trabectome) shows excellent promise as an option for individuals with OAG and concomitant cataract; further research through RCT is required to validate these findings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
