One of the earliest studies in which 108 combined procedures were examined. It was suggested that this procedure gives excellent visual rehabilitation and IOP control in the majority of patients studied.

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers 1995, 26:414-419. One of the earlier studies directly comparing the planned ECCE-trabeculectomy against the phacotrabeculectomy. Also presents theories on the improvement of the latter procedure as compared to the former.
