Abstract

Bilateral phacoemulsification+intraocular lens implantation surgeries were performed subsequently in three cases diagnosed with angle closure glaucoma who had treated with laser iridotomy and antiglaucoma therapy for intraocular pressure (IOP) control previously. IOP control without any medication and visual improvement were achieved postoperatively in all cases. Anterior chamber parameters changes in the preoperative and early postoperative period were imaged with the Pentacam Scheimpflug camera and increase in anterior chamber volume (ACD), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and anterior chamber angle (ACA) was detected in all cases.

Özet

Açı kapanması glokomu tanısıyla takip edilen, lazer iridotomi ve antiglokom tedavi ile göz içi basıncı (GİB) kontrolü sağlanmış 3 olguda, ilerleyen yaşla birlikte lens kesafetinin artması ve görme keskinliğinin azalması nedeniyle ardışık seanslarda iki taraflı fakoemülsifikasyon+göz içi lens implantasyonu ameliyatı uygulandı. Ameliyat sonrası takiplerde tüm olgularda ilaçsız GİB kontrolü sağlanırken, görme keskinliği anlamlı oranda arttı. Ameliyatlar öncesi ve ameliyat sonrası erken dönem ön kamara parametrelerindeki değişim Pentacam Scheimpflug kamera ile görüntülendi ve tüm olgularda ön kamara volümü (ÖKV), ön kamara derinliği (ÖKD) ve ön kamara açısı (ÖKA)'nın arttığı saptandı.
