Abstract

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of selective laser trabeculoplasty in phakic and pseudophakic patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed medical records of patients who underwent selective laser trabeculoplasty in pseudophakic and phakic patients with open-angle glaucoma. Mean decrease in IOP, success rates, and ocular side effects were compared in phakic and pseudophakic eyes. Results: Forty-nine eyes (26 phakic, 23 pseudophakic) of 37 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean decrease in IOP at 1 year after SLT was 5.0±3.0 mmHg in phakic eyes and 5.3±2.9 mmHg in pseudophakic eyes (p=0.78). The success rates in phakic and pseudophakic eyes were 60.0% (SD±10) and 60.9% (SD±10), respectively (p=0.95). The rate of side effects, such as early IOP spike, ocular discomfort, and uveitis, did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusion: Selective laser trabeculoplasty seems to be an effective and safe treatment procedure in phakic and pseudophakic eyes.

Özet

Amaç: Açık açılı glokomlu fakik ve psödofakik hastalarda selektif lazer trabeküloplastinin etkinliğinin ve güvenliğinin karşılaştırılması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu geriye dönük çalışmada, SLT yapılmış açık açılı glokomu bulunan fakik yada psödofakik olguların hasta kartlarını inceledik. Fakik ve psödofakik gözlerde ortalama GİB azalması, başarı oranı ve oküler yan etkiler karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 37 hastanın 49 gözü (26 fakik, 23 psödofakik ) alındı. SLT sonrası 1. yıldaki ortalama GİB azalması fakik gözde 5.0±3.0 mmHg, psödofakik gözlerde ise 5.3±2.9 mmHg idi (p=0.78). Başarı oranı fakik ve psödofakik gözlerde sırasıyla %60.0 (SS±10) ve %60.9 (SS±10) idi (p=0.95). Erken GİB yükselmesi, üveit ve oküler rahatsızlık açısından 2 grup arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı. Sonuç: Selektif lazer trabeküloplasti fakik ve psödofakik hastalarda etkin ve güvenilir bir tedavi olarak görünmektedir.
