The goal of this multicenter non-inferiority randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation (PEI) combined with goniotomy (GT) and PEI combined with medical therapy (MED) in the treatment of medically-controlled primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with cataract. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Whether the PEI+GT was non-inferior to PEI+MED with regard to the intraocular pressure lowering effect in medically-controlled POAG. * Whether the PEI+GT has value of health economics. Participants will be randomized to receive either PEI+GT or PEI+MED, and followed up with a 1-year period as a primary outcome.
