A cataractous and open angle glaucomatous right eye of a 60 year old man was surgically treated in a different way. First, phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens was done, then, under gonioscopy, I track, I science microcatheter was introduced in the suprachoroidal space and heavy viscoelastic was injected. Preoperatively, intra ocular pressure was 28 mmHg on three topical medications, Travatan, Cosopt and Alphagan. One month postoperatively, IOP was reduced to 16 mmHg without medications. Suprachoroidal catheterization is a safe, easy and effective technique in treatment of open angle glaucoma. Studies with long-term follow up are needed to assess efficacy and safety of the procedure. Suprachoroidal catheterization should be tried in different types of glaucoma.
