Prospective, randomized, , double-blind, clinical trial, comparing the variation of intraocular pressure (IOP) of patients with mild or moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and cataract divided into three groups. All study participants should be treated for the pathology with one or more hypotensive medications or, regardless of the number of drugs, when IOP is greater than 20 mmHg and less than 26 mmHg. The two-year follow-up should also compare the reduction in the number of medications used, reoperation rate, adverse effects, visual acuity, endothelial loss, induction of astigmatism, variation in IOP according to axial diameter of the eye, anterior chamber and age, in addition to the existence of change in the quality of life of patients in the postoperative period

RECRUITINGChange in intraocular pressure (IOP) after surgery.
To evaluate the change in intraocular pressure (IOP) after surgery, in patients with mild to moderate GPAA, undergoing phacoemulsification associated with gonioscopy assisted transluminal trabeculotomy by 180º (GATT 180º) or 360º (GATT 360º), and compare the results between the groups mentioned and with similar controls, who operated only on cataracts, in a period of up to two years.
Time frame: From glaucoma medications washout to 2 years after the surgery
Change in the number of glaucoma medications after surgery.
To evaluate the change in the number of glaucoma medications applied after surgery, in patients with mild to moderate GPAA, undergoing phacoemulsification associated with gonioscopy assisted transluminal trabeculotomy by 180º (GATT 180º) or 360º (GATT 360º), and compare the results between the groups mentioned and with similar controls, who operated only on cataracts, in a period of up to two years.
