Phacoemulsification with suture GATT was performed. Outcome measures included surgical success rate (complete and qualified), intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction post surgery, change in antiglaucoma medications (AGMs) post surgery, change in best corrected visual acuity, and surgical complications. IOP reduction &lt;18 mmHg or \u226530% from baseline without AGM was defined as complete success. IOP reduction &lt;18 mmHg or \u226530% from baseline with AGM was considered as qualified success.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Mean baseline IOP reduced significantly from 23.05+- 7.42 mmHg to 13.4+- 3.20 mmHg at 1 year (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001, n = 30), with a 44% IOP reduction.
