Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of phacoemulsification combined with one trabecular micro-bypass stent implantation phaco-iStent versus phacoemulsification alone in a Taiwanese population as well as to investigate any differences in outcomes between patients with primary open angle glaucoma POAG and those with normal tension glaucoma NTG The main question it aims to answer is
How much do intraocular pressure IOP and the number of antiglaucoma medications change after iStent insertion with subgroup analyses for POAG and NTG Researchers will compare phacoemulsification combined with one trabecular micro-bypass stent implantation phaco-iStent versus phacoemulsification alone to see if IOP and the number of antiglaucoma medications decrease
Participants will receive their regular phacoemulsification and decided whether to receive iStent by themselves
