We present the case of a 70 years old female patient with bilateral senile cataract, more advanced at the RE; Primary open angle glaucoma, poor compensation with drugs at the RE (with timolol 0.5% and xalatan 0.005%). Combined cataract and glaucoma surgery was performed, using different surgical approach zones. The article describes the therapeutic options in the morbid association of cataract and glaucoma, pointing out the advantages and the indications for each method.

Relative anterior microphthalmos (RAM) is a rare ocular condition characterized by disproportionately small anterior segments but normal axial length (corneal diameter < 11 mm and axial length > 20 mm). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RAM and its association with glaucoma utilizing IOL Master 700 data (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). A retrospective analysis was conducted of the biometric parameters of 6,407 eyes, and 115 cases of RAM were identified.

Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily known for its motor symptoms, but research is highlighting its significant effects on non-motor functions, particularly ocular health.
- This review discusses the connection between PD and various common eye diseases, including dry eye disease and cataracts, emphasizing that these ocular issues can serve as early indicators of PD.
- Future studies should focus on exploring links between PD and additional eye conditions, like myopia, to develop better treatment approaches for patients.
