This review addresses when cataract surgery alone may be sufficient, when combined cataract surgery and MIGS may be appropriate, and when filtration surgery should be considered. Methods: This narrative review used a targeted PubMed\/MEDLINE search of English-language literature published from January 2000 to May 2026 to support source identification and reference selection. The review focused on cataract surgery combined with Schlemm canal- or trabecular meshwork-targeted MIGS, including stent-based Schlemm canal procedures and trabeculotomy\/goniotomy-based procedures, medication burden, ocular surface disease, refractive and visual outcomes, corneal endothelial safety, complications, angle visibility, guideline-based decision-making, and patient selection. Final references were selected according to clinical relevance to cataract-surgeon decision-making and evidence priority, with emphasis on guidelines, systematic reviews or meta-analyses, randomized or prospective comparative studies, pivotal or long-term studies, large real-world or post-market studies, and clinically informative safety, refractive, endothelial, imaging, or complication-related studies. Results: Stent-based Schlemm canal procedures and trabeculotomy\/goniotomy-based procedures can provide additional IOP and medication reduction compared with cataract surgery alone in selected eyes with mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma. Stent-based procedures generally have a lower hyphema risk, whereas trabeculotomy\/goniotomy-based procedures may provide comparable or greater IOP reduction in selected eyes but are associated with more frequent hyphema. In normal-tension glaucoma or low-baseline-IOP eyes, the expected benefit is often medication reduction or modest IOP lowering rather than reliable achievement of very low target IOP. Available refractive evidence remains limited and procedure-specific, but suggests that major refractive instability is uncommon in appropriately selected eyes. Conclusions: The decision to combine Schlemm canal-based MIGS with cataract surgery should be goal-directed rather than based solely on the presence of topical therapy. Practical selection should integrate glaucoma subtype, disease stage, baseline and target IOP, expected phacoemulsification-only IOP reduction, medication burden, ocular surface status, adherence, angle visibility, endothelial reserve, refractive objectives, and future filtration surgery options.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15145503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,14]],"date-time":"2026-07-14T05:32:01Z","timestamp":1784007121000},"page":"5503","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Should Schlemm Canal-Based MIGS Be Combined with Cataract Surgery in Patients Receiving Topical Glaucoma Therapy?
