Senile cataract and chronic simple glaucoma may occasionally coexist. For the management of such cases, this paper presents results ob-tained from the following three different methods of operations.

I : Cataract extraction through an upper lim-bal incision or a corneal incision after the estab-lishment of a filtering bleb.

II : Limbal lip cautery combined with cata-ract extraction.

III : Cyclodialysis and iris inclusion combined with cataract extraction.

The first method was performed on 9 cases with satisfactory results requiring no medica-tions postoperatively in 8 cases. The second method was used in 7 cases.
