Purpose
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) alone or in combination with bevacizumab.Methods
Sixty-four eyes were prospectively investigated. Group 1 (22 central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and 16 branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO)) was treated with Ozurdex alone, and group 2 (14 CRVO and 12 BRVO) was treated with three consecutive bevacizumab injections followed by Ozurdex. Recurrences were treated with Ozurdex only. Patients were seen preoperatively and thereafter in monthly intervals. The primary end point was best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 12 months.Results
In group 1, BCVA improved by 6.6 (±1.7) letters in CRVO and 7.8 (±2.9) in BRVO patients, and in group 2 by 9.8 (±1.0) vs 9.4 (±2.1) letters. A significant difference was only seen between CRVO patients in group 1 and 2 at 12 months (P<0.05). Recurrence after the first Ozurdex injection occurred after 3.8 (CRVO) and 3.5 months (BRVO) in group 1, vs 3.2 and 3.7 months in group 2. Elevated intraocular pressure (>5 mm Hg) was measured in approximately 40% cataract progression requiring surgery in about 50% of eyes after three Ozurdex injections.Conclusion
Combined treatment showed slightly better functional outcome for CRVO patients. Increased intraocular pressure and cataract progression was frequent and should be considered when an individual treatment is planned. 相似文献2.

Purpose
This pilot study, the first of its type, was conducted to determine the clinical outcome of a sequential glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) inserted in piggyback manner, that is into the bleb of a primary GDI.Methods
This was a retrospective chart study with a minimum 1-year follow-up involving 16 eyes of 14 uncontrolled glaucoma patients who had previously undergone sequential GDI performed using a technique to convert a one-plate into a two-plate implant system. Surgical success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) <21 mm Hg with at least a 30% reduction in IOP from baseline on two consecutive follow-up visits, IOP >5 mm Hg on two consecutive follow-up visits, and neither reoperation of glaucoma nor loss of light perception vision.Results
The mean ±SD baseline IOP was 29.2±5.2 mm Hg, and the mean postoperative IOP was 17.3±3.4 mm Hg, with a mean pressure drop of 39.4±10.4% (P<0.001). Life-table analysis showed an 88% success rate after 12 months of follow-up. The mean preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.2±0.2 logMAR (Snellen equivalent 6/9.5), compared with 0.3±0.3 logMAR postoperatively (Snellen equivalent 6/12; P=0.497). Postoperative complications included a flat anterior chamber and choroidal detachment (one eye), uveitis and cataract (one eye), diplopia (one eye), and worsening of pre-existing pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (one eye).Conclusions
In glaucoma eyes with useful vision the piggyback GDI seems to provide a significant IOP lowering with minimal complications in patients in whom an initial GDI had failed to control the IOP. 相似文献3.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) and choroidal thickness (CT) measurements in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) and healthy subjects.Methods
A total of 34 patients (12 male and 22 female) who had type 2 diabetes mellitus with DME and 34 sex-matched healthy subjects (13 male and 21 female) were included in this prospective study. The intraocular pressure (IOP) and OPA were measured with Dynamic contour tonometer (Pascal DCT, Switzerland). The subfoveal CT was measured using the Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec). The CT at 1500 μm and 3000 μm nasal and temporal to the central fovea was also measured.Results
The mean IOP values were 18.4±3.5 and 17.1±2.1 mm Hg in DME patients and healthy controls, respectively (P= 0.091). The mean OPA values in patients with DME (2.58±0.96) and controls (3.52±1.03) were statistically different (P<0.001). The mean subfoveal CT value was 273.5±30.2 μm in the eyes with DME and 321.4±36.5 μm in the control group (P< 0.001). In both groups, linear regression analysis showed no significant association between OPA and CT measurements. The IOP showed a significantly positive correlation with OPA in both DME (P=0.002, r=0.526) and controls (P=0.004, r=0.483).Conclusions
The current study suggests that both pulsatile choroidal blood flow and CT are decreased in patients with DME. 相似文献4.
Aims
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor compounds are routinely used for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). We aim to evaluate for the existence and magnitude of treatment effect on fellow un-injected eyes.Methods
A consecutive group of patients with bilateral DME who received unilateral bevacizumab injections was retrospectively evaluated. Data collected included demographics, ophthalmic and systemic findings, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of macular thickness.Results
Thirty-five patients were evaluated. Mean follow-up was 245 days (range: 30–800), and the mean number of bevacizumab injections was 3.6 (range: 1–11). At end of follow-up, the mean (SD) OCT central subfield thickness reduced by 72±112 micron in the injected eye (from 469±139 to 397±120 micron; P=0.001), while in the non-injected eye it reduced by 49±75 micron (from 380±130 to 331±106 micron; P<0.001). Sixteen injected eyes (45.7%) showed central subfield thickness reduction of ≥50 micron while 10 (28.6%) non-injected eyes showed such thickness reduction. Improved VA following treatment was detected in 14 (40%) injected eyes and in 15 (43%) non-injected eyes.Conclusions
Unilateral bevacizumab injections in patients with bilateral DME are often associated with bilateral response.Summary Statement
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor compounds are routinely used for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). In this retrospective study, we show that unilateral bevacizumab injections often result in reduction of the macular thickness in the fellow un-injected eye. 相似文献5.

Purpose
This pilot study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subthreshold micropulse yellow (577-nm) laser photocoagulation (SMYLP) in the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME).Methods
We reviewed 14 eyes of 12 patients with DME who underwent SMYLP with a 15% duty cycle at an energy level immediately below that of the test burn. The laser exposure time was 20 ms and the spot diameter was 100 µm. Laser pulses were administered in a confluent, repetitive manner with a 3 × 3 pattern mode.Results
The mean follow-up time was 7.9 ± 1.6 months. The baseline-corrected visual acuity was 0.51 ± 0.42 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), which was improved to 0.40 ± 0.35 logMAR (p = 0.025) at the final follow-up. The central macular thickness at baseline was 385.0 ± 111.0 µm; this value changed to 327.0 ± 87.7 µm (p = 0.055) at the final follow-up.Conclusions
SMYLP showed short-term efficacy in the treatment of DME and did not result in retinal damage. However, prospective, comparative studies are needed to better evaluate the efficacy and safety of this treatment. 相似文献6.

Aims
To determine the feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy of intravitreal 0.7-mg dexamethasone implants (Ozurdex) in patients with refractory cystoid macular edema after uncomplicated cataract surgery.Methods and materials
In this study, 11 eyes of 11 patients affected by pseudophakic cystoid macular edema refractory to medical treatment were treated with a single intravitreal injection of a dexamethasone implant. Follow-up visits involved Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study visual acuity testing, optical coherence tomography imaging, and ophthalmoscopic examination.Results
The follow-up period was six months. The mean duration of cystoid macular edema before treatment with Ozurdex was 7.7 months (range, 6–10 months). The baseline mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.58 ± 0.17 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). The mean BCVA improved to 0.37 ± 0.16 logMAR (p = 0.008) and 0.20 ± 0.13 logMAR (p = 0.001) after 1 and 3 months, respectively. At the last follow-up visit (6-month follow-up), the mean BCVA was 0.21 ± 0.15 logMAR (p = 0.002). The mean foveal thickness at baseline (513.8 μm, range, 319–720 μm) decreased significantly (308.0 μm; range, 263–423 μm) by the end of the follow-up period (p < 0.0001). Final foveal thickness was significantly correlated with baseline BCVA (r = 0.57, p = 0.002). No ocular or systemic adverse events were observed.Conclusions
Short-term results suggest that the intravitreal dexamethasone implant is safe and well tolerated in patients with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema. Treated eyes had revealed a significant improvement in BCVA and decrease in macular thickness by optical coherence tomography. 相似文献7.

Aims
To compare the outcomes of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) treated with and without intravitreal bevacizumab in a large case comparison study.Methods
The study is a retrospective, comparative, case series of 163 eyes of 151 patients with NVG, including 99 treated without and 64 treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. Medical and surgical treatments for NVG were assessed. The main outcome measures were visual acuity (VA) and intraocular pressure (IOP).Results
At the time of NVG diagnosis, the median VA was count fingers (CF) in the non-bevacizumab group and 2/300 in the bevacizumab group. IOP (mean±SD) was 43.1±13.0 mm Hg in the non-bevacizumab group and 40.8±11.5 mm Hg in the bevacizumab group. IOP (mean±SD) decreased to 18.3±13.8 mm Hg in the non-bevacizumab group and 15.3±8.0 mm Hg in the bevacizumab group, and the median VA was CF in both treatment groups at a mean follow-up of 12 months. Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) substantially reduced the need for glaucoma surgery (P<0.001) in bevacizumab treated NVG eyes.Conclusions
Although bevacizumab delayed the need for glaucoma surgery, PRP was the most important factor that reduced the need for surgery. Vision and IOP in eyes with NVG treated with bevacizumab showed no long-term differences when compared with eyes that were not treated with bevacizumab. Thus, intravitreal bevacizumab serves as an effective temporizing treatment, but is not a replacement for close monitoring and definitive treatment of NVG. PRP remains the treatment modality that affects the course of NVG in terms of decreasing the need for surgery to control IOP. 相似文献8.

Purpose
To evaluate the efficacy of vitrectomy combined with intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) and macular laser photocoagulation for the treatment of nontractional diabetic macular edema (DME) refractory to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy.Methods
Twenty-eight eyes from 28 subjects who were diagnosed with nontractional DME refractory to three or more sequential anti-VEGF injections underwent sequential vitrectomy, IVTA, and macular laser photocoagulation. Changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central subfield thickness (CST) during the six months following vitrectomy were evaluated. Additionally, the CST and BCVA outcomes were compared with those of 26 eyes treated with the same triple therapy for nontractional DME refractory to conventional treatment, such as IVTA or macular laser photocoagulation, or both.Results
The mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVAs before and one, three, and six months after vitrectomy were 0.44 ± 0.15, 0.36 ± 0.18, 0.31 ± 0.14, and 0.34 ± 0.22, respectively. The mean CSTs were 433.3 ± 77.9, 329.9 ± 59.4, 307.2 ± 60.2, and 310.1 ± 80.1 microns, respectively. The values of both BCVA and CST at one, three, and six months were significantly improved from baseline (p < 0.05). The extent of CST reduction during the first month after triple therapy was greater in eyes refractory to conventional treatment than in eyes refractory to anti-VEGF (p = 0.012).Conclusions
Vitrectomy combined with IVTA and macular laser photocoagulation had a beneficial effect on both anatomical and functional outcomes in eyes with nontractional DME refractory to anti-VEGF therapy. 相似文献9.

Purpose
Assessing the frequency and evaluating the efficacy and safety of Neodymium:Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) Laser goniopuncture (LGP) following nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS).Design
Retrospective cohort study.Patients and methods
We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of 197 eyes of 153 patients with open angle glaucoma who underwent either NPDS or NPDS combined with cataract extraction between January 2005 and September 2010 at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH). Both demographic and clinical data were retrieved and analysed.Results
Goniopuncture (GP) was needed in 48 (24.4%) of the eyes which had NPDS or NPDS with cataract extraction after a mean post operative interval of 9.78 (±11.16) months. The mean IOP had significantly decreased from 23.3 (±5.9) mmHg prior to Nd:YAG LGP procedure to 14.6 (±4.4) mmHg at the last post-procedure assessment. At the last follow-up; Nd:YAG LGP was successful in controlling IOP in 27 eyes (56.3%). Mean Nd:YAG LGP failure time was 6.04 (±5.80) months. Young age (<50 years) (p = 0.001); type of glaucoma (secondary versus primary open angle, p = 0.0258) and the use of drainage implant (p = 0.038) were the identified predicting factors for the need of Nd:YAG LGP. Complications following Nd:YAG LGP occurred in 5 eyes (iris touch to TDM (4.2%), Hyphema (2.1%), hypotony maculopathy (2.1%) and choroidal detachment (2.1%).Conclusions
LGP is an efficient IOP lowering procedure after NPDS, when it is indicated. It is a simple and noninvasive procedure. However, certain precautions should be taken to avoid complications. 相似文献10.

Purpose
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation in refractory glaucoma in Northern Indian eyes.Background
The success rate of trabeculectomy remains low in cases of refractory glaucoma even with the use of antifibrotics. Glaucoma drainage devices have proven to be more efficacious in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in these glaucomas.Methods
Retrospective records of 55 consecutive patients who underwent AGV implantation at Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital, New Delhi, India from January 2003 to December 2012 were reviewed. Pre-operative data included age, gender, eye laterality, specific diagnosis, number of anti-glaucoma medications, number of prior incisional surgeries, visual acuity and IOP on medical treatment. Postoperative data included visual acuity and IOP on day one, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and yearly thereafter, number of anti-glaucoma medications, any complication or additional surgical intervention required. Success was defined as IOP >5 and <22 mmHg with or without treatment.Results
Mean IOP decreased from 39.71 ± 8.99 pre-operatively to 17.52 ± 5.72 mmHg at last follow-up (p < 0.001) and number of medications reduced from 3.27 ± 0.84 to 1.25 ± 0.88 (p < 0.001). Visual acuity remained within one Snellen line or improved at last follow-up in 47 cases (85.4%). The cumulative probability of success was 85.45% at 1 year and 79.63% at 3 years. The incidence of post-operative complications was 25.45%.Conclusion
AGV implantation has proven to be safe and is effective in controlling IOP in refractory glaucoma in Northern Indian eyes. 相似文献12.

Purpose
To report the long-term follow-up results after cyclocryotherapy, applied to the 3-o''clock and 9-o''clock positions in blind refractory glaucoma patients.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 19 blind patients, and a total of 20 eyes with refractory glaucoma who were treated with cyclocryotherapy. Cyclocryotherapy treatments were performed using a retinal cryoprobe. The temperature of each cyclocryotherapy spot was -80℃ and each spot was maintained in place for 60 seconds. Six cyclocryotherapy spots were placed in each quadrant, including the 3-o''clock and 9-o''clock positions.Results
The mean baseline pretreatment intraocular pressure (IOP) in all eyes was 50.9 ± 12.5 mmHg, which significantly decreased to a mean IOP at last follow-up of 14.1 ± 7.1 mmHg (p < 0.001). The mean number of antiglaucoma medications that patients were still taking at last follow-up was 0.3 ± 0.6. Devastating post-procedure phthisis occurred in only one eye.Conclusions
Cyclocryotherapy, performed at each quadrant and at the 3-o''clock and 9-o''clock position, is an effective way to lower IOP and, thus, is a reasonable treatment option for refractory glaucoma patients who experience with ocular pain and headaches. 相似文献13.
Purpose
To investigate the long-term effect of phacoemulsification on intraocular pressure (IOP) in trabeculectomized eyes and to identify the factors affecting the IOP changes.Methods
In consecutive patients with previous trabeculectomy (TE) who underwent uncomplicated clear cornea phacoemulsification we evaluated intraocular pressure, need of antiglaucomatous medical therapy or glaucoma surgery, and length of glaucoma control without therapy. Glaucoma therapy was prescribed in the presence of IOP >18 mm Hg or worsening of the visual field. A group of trabeculectomized eyes that did not receive cataract surgery was retrospectively selected as a control. Multivariate analysis was used to test factors related to final outcome of the treatment.Results
One hundred and eight eyes with previous TE that received phacoemulsification and 108 controls were included in the study. Phacoemulsification was performed 60±21 months after TE. After a mean follow-up of 66±28 months, mean IOP was significantly increased in the cataract surgery group (by 1.7±4.3 mm Hg) and in the control group (by 2.3±4.3 mm Hg)(both P<0.001); in two groups, respectively, 31 eyes (28.7%) and 17 eyes (15.7%) had received glaucoma therapy (chi-square P=0.030). Factors related to success (no need of therapy) were use of mitomycin-C (MMC) in previous TE (P<0.001), longer time from TE to cataract surgery (P=0.007), higher preoperative bleb score (P=0.021), and lower baseline IOP (P=0.042).Conclusions
Cataract surgery reduces the function of filtering bleb in some eyes. Factors related to low rate of failure are the previous use of MMC during TE, longer time from TE to cataract surgery, and good preoperative aspect of the bleb. 相似文献14.
Purpose
To evaluate the long-term visual prognosis and intraocular pressure (IOP) control following direct and indirect cycloplexy for the surgical treatment of traumatic cyclodialysis clefts.Methods
Retrospective consecutive case series of 17 eyes of 17 patients. All eyes showing signs of ocular hypotony were treated with either cleft cyclocryotherapy and/or direct surgical cycloplexy. Cycloplexy was performed by directly suturing the ciliary body to the scleral spur under a double-lamellar limbal-based scleral flap. The main outcome measures were IOP, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and the occurrence of postoperative complications.Results
The cyclodialysis clefts were post-traumatic in all the 17 eyes and extended for 2.1±1.6 clock-hours (range, 0.5–6 clock-hours). The mean follow-up time was 43.7±24.6 months (range, 12–110 months). Preoperatively, the mean IOP was 6.9±4.0 mm Hg (range, 2–14 mm Hg). Postoperatively, painful reversible IOP spikes of up to 70 mm Hg developed in 13 eyes. The final mean postoperative IOP was 12.2±4.1 mm Hg with no cases of secondary glaucoma. Preoperatively, BCVA was 6/12 or better in 4 eyes (24%), which rose to 12 eyes (71%) at final follow-up. Of the 12 patients who underwent direct cycloplexy, 75% achieved a final BCVA of 6/12 or better. There were no serious complications related to direct cycloplexy, including suprachoroidal haemorrhage or endophthalmitis.Conclusions
Successful cyclodialysis cleft repair can lead to a good long-term visual prognosis and stable IOP control, even in cases with a protracted history of ocular hypotony. 相似文献15.
Background/Aims
Bevacizumab and ranibizumab are routinely used to treat diabetic macular edema (DME). We aim to evaluate the usefulness of switching to ranibizumab therapy following bevacizumab treatment failure in eyes with DME.Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of a consecutive group of patients with DME who received ranibizumab injections following the failure of bevacizumab injections. The injections were delivered following a pro re nata protocol every 4–6 weeks. The data collected included demographics, systemic and ophthalmic findings, as well as the central subfield thickness according to spectral-domain OCT.Results
Eight eyes (5 patients) were included in the study. The median number of bevacizumab injections prior to the switch to ranibizumab was 4, and the median number of ranibizumab injections during the study was 2. The mean follow-up period was 541 ± 258 days. The mean central retinal thickness (CRT) (±SEM) was 539 ± 75 μm before the initiation of bevacizumab treatment, and 524 ± 43 μm after the last bevacizumab injection (p = 0.7). It reduced to 325 ± 26 μm following the ranibizumab injections (p = 0.0063). The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved in 4 eyes and remained stable in 4 eyes following the ranibizumab injections.Conclusion
A ranibizumab therapy was effective in reducing the CRT in eyes that failed bevacizumab therapy. A BCVA improvement can also occur in these eyes. Switching between anti-vascular endothelial growth factor compounds may be beneficial in eyes with DME.Key Words: Ranibizumab, Bevacizumab, Diabetic macular edema, Treatment failure 相似文献16.

Purpose
To assess the outcome of trabectome surgery in the treatment of glaucomatocyclitic crisis (Posner–Schlossman syndrome) in patients with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP).Patients/Methods
Trabectome surgery was performed in seven patients with diagnosed glaucomatocyclitic crisis and uncontrolled IOP where cytomegalovirus DNA was verified by polymerase chain reaction in aqueous humour samples. All patients were treated with oral valganciclovir. After surgery the patients were followed-up for 12 months.Results
Mean IOP before trabectome surgery was 40±10 mm Hg (range 33–58 mm Hg). The mean number of antiglaucoma medication prior to surgery was 3.1±0.4. By the end of the 12 months, IOP in all patients was reduced to normal level (13±1 mm Hg) and their antiglaucoma medication was decreased to 0.8±1.1. No recurring attack of glaucomatocyclitic crisis occurred.Discussion
In addition to oral valganciclovir therapy, trabectome surgery seems to be a reliable and effective tool for the management of glaucomatocyclitic crisis with uncontrolled IOP. 相似文献17.

Purpose
To determine the applicability of central corneal thickness (CCT) based correction factor for non-contact tonometer (NCT) measured intraocular pressure (IOP) readings.Method
A prospective, non-randomized study involved 346 eyes of 173 consecutive patients with age ⩾21 years undergoing laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for myopia and/or myopic astigmatism. The CCT and IOP were measured before and after the LASIK procedure. The IOP pre and post-LASIK was compared after applying the correction factor for CCT. Patients not completing the 3 month postoperative follow-up were excluded.Results
The median spherical equivalent before undergoing LASIK was −4.25D (inter-quartile range, −3.25D). The mean preoperative CCT was 536.82 ± 33.71 μm which reduced to 477.55 ± 39.3 μm (p < 0.01) post-LASIK. The mean IOP reduced from a preoperative value of 14.6 ± 2.32 mmHg to 10.64 ± 2.45 mmHg postoperatively (p < 0.01). On applying correction for the corneal thickness, the pre and postoperative IOP was 15.14 ± 2.8 mmHg and 15.37 ± 2.65 mmHg (p = 0.06) respectively with a strong positive correlation (r = 0.7, p < 0.01). Three hundred eyes (86.7%) had an absolute difference in IOP of less than 3.0 mmHg post-CCT correction which is within the retest variability of NCT. Only 46 eyes (13.3%) had an absolute difference of more than 3.0 mmHg.Conclusion
The modified Ehler’s correction algorithm used in this study can be effectively applied in the normal IOP range in a majority of patients. 相似文献18.
Purpose
To compare dexamethasone (DEX) intravitreal implant effect in non-vitrectomized (non-PPV) vs vitrectomized (PPV) eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to non-infectious uveitis.Methods
Medical records of patients with uveitic ME treated with DEX-intravitreal implant were reviewed. Main outcome measures were changes in central retinal thickness (CRT), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), vitreous haze and adverse events. Statistical analysis was performed by Longitudinal Linear model using the General Estimating Equation methodology.Results
Forty-two eyes of 32 patients were included. Median follow-up time was 18 months (interquartile range (IQR): 12–24). Median CRT showed its maximum decrease at the first month in non-PPV and PPV eyes without statistically significant differences between both groups (P=NS). Median Snellen BCVA, converted to logarithm (LogMAR), showed its maximum improvement at third month in both groups without statistically significant differences between them (P=NS). Median IOP was higher in non-PPV eyes than in PPV eyes from third (P=0.025) to 12th month (P=0.013). Vitreous haze score improved in both groups since first month and showed no differences (P=0.706). Reinjection was performed in 45.2% of eyes at a median time of 5 months IQR: (5–6). Ocular hypertension (47.6%) was the most common adverse event.Conclusions
DEX-intravitreal implant for uveitic ME has similar long-term safety profile and good response measured in terms of CRT decrease, BCVA, and vitreous haze improvement in both groups. Non-PPV eyes following DEX-intravitreal implant showed higher IOP increase than PPV eyes, showing the need for close IOP monitoring. 相似文献19.

Purpose
To evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) change after cataract surgery in non-glaucomatous eyes with narrow and open angles (OAs) and its relation to novel lens parameters measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).Setting
University affiliated hospital, Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran, Iran.Design
Prospective interventional case series.Methods
In this prospective study, 85 non-glaucomatous eyes underwent phacoemulsification and lens implantation. Thirty-nine eyes had OAs and 46 eyes had narrow angles (NAs). IOP and biometric parameters were measured by AS-OCT preoperatively and 3 months after surgery. Change in IOP and its relation to biometric parameters, including lens vault (LV), anterior vault (AV), defined as the sum of the LV and the ACD, and relative LV (rLV), defined as the ratio of the LV to the AV, were evaluated. The main outcome measure was degree of IOP change after phacoemulsification.Results
Of the 85 patients included in the analysis, 35 were male and 50 were female with an overall mean age of 62.2±8.9 years. The average IOP reduction was −4.95±2.26 mm Hg, from a preoperative mean of 17.12±2.47 mm Hg, at 3 months after cataract surgery. The amount of IOP reduction was significantly greater in the NA compared with the OA group. In multivariate linear regression analysis, preoperative IOP and AV were significantly associated with IOP decrease (all ≤0.03).Conclusion
Cataract surgery results in IOP reduction in both OA and NA eyes. The amount of IOP reduction is related to AV. 相似文献20.
