Brief Summary
This study aims to recruit patients of the Glaucoma Investigative and Research Unit (GIRU) of Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (RVEEH) with mild to moderate glaucoma who are due to undergo cataract surgery and randomise each to either cataract surgery or combined cataract surgery with iStent Inject® insertion. Only patients who meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be recruited. The outcomes measures of the study will be a comparison of: 1) extent of IOP reduction; 2) reduction in number of topical glaucoma medications; 3) patient treatment satisfaction - between the two treatment groups.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- \>18 years of age
- Diagnosis of mild-to-moderate open angle glaucoma
- Presence of cataract requiring surgery
- Good understanding of both verbal and written English
- Able to provide informed consent
You may not qualify if:

- Other ocular pathology affecting vision
- Inability to complete the elements of the study, eg: coma, hemodynamic instability, ventilator dependence, that could be of concern in the investigator's judgment.
- Non-elective hospitalisation within the past 60 days that could be of concern in the investigator's judgment.
