Abstract

Purpose: To describe and analyze the preoperative and postoperative findings of 'Super Geriatrics' who underwent cataract operation. Materials and Methods: The charts of 226 patients who had cataract operation performed by the same surgeon between January-April 2013, in Antalya Atatürk Hospital, were retrospectively reviewed. Included were 24 eyes of 22 patients who were in the Super Geriatric Group (80 years old and over). Results: The baseline characteristics included 14 female and 8 male patients with mean age of 81.77. Mean follow-up time was 8.63 months and preoperative visual acuity was hand-motion in 13 eyes. All operations were under topical anesthesia except one non-cooperative patient. Intraoperative complications developed in two patients in which posterior chamber intraocular lens was implanted after anterior vitrectomy. Postoperative visual acuity was more than 0.5 in 92%. Two patients with less than 0.5 vision had previous retinal pathology. Despite refraction error below average, five previous glasses-wearers wanted to use glasses postoperatively. In the ones who were not wearing glasses previously, and had refraction below 1.50 Diopter after surgery, none of them wanted glasses. Conclusion: Outcomes of cataract operations in Super Geriatrics is quite well, but most of them wait for surgery until their visual acuity decreased to a level of counting fingers. A successful cataract operation may increase their visual acuity and may help them to live in more comfort and with less risk of accidents

Özet

Amaç: Katarakt ameliyatı olan 'Süper Geriatriklerin' ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası bulgularını incelemek ve göstermek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak-Nisan 2014 tarihleri arasında Antalya Atatürk Devlet Hastanesi'nde aynı cerrah tarafından katarakt ameliyatı yapılan 226 hastanın dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Süper geriatrik yaş grubuna giren (80 yaş ve üstü) 22 hastanın 24 gözü çalışmaya alındı. Bulgular: Ameliyat tarihindeki yaş ortalaması 81, 77 olan hastaların 14'ü kadın, 8'i erkek idi. Ortalama takip süresi 8, 63 ay olup 13 gözde (%54) preoperatif görme keskinliği parmak sayma düzeyindeydi. Kooperasyonu düşük olan bir hasta dışında tüm ameliyatlar topikal anestezi altında yapıldı. İntraoperatif komplikasyon gelişen 2 hastaya ön vitrektomi sonrası arka kamaraya intraoküler lens yerleştirildi. Ameliyat sonrası hastaların %92'sinde görme, Snellen eşeline göre 0.5'in üzerinde tespit edildi. Görmesi 0.5'in altında olan iki hastada cerrahiden bağımsız olarak retinal patoloji mevcuttu. Önceden gözlük kullanan 5 hasta refraksiyon değerleri ortalamanın altında olmasına rağmen ameliyat sonrası da gözlük kullanmak istedi. Daha önce gözlük kullanmayan ve postoperatif refraksiyon değeri 1.50 Dioptrinin altında olan hastaların hiç biri gözlük istemedi. Sonuç: Süper geriatriklerin katarakt ameliyatı sonuçları oldukça iyidir ancak ameliyat olmayı istemeleri için çoğunun görmesinin parmak sayma düzeyine düşmesi gerekmektedir. Yaşlılarda gerçekleştirilen başarılı bir katarakt ameliyatıyla bu hastaların görme yetersizlikleri düzeltilebilir ve bundan sonraki hayatlarını daha az kaza riskiyle ve daha konforlu bir şekilde geçirmeleri sağlanabilir
