Abstract

Purpose: It is aimed to study if the increased prevalence of dry eye in older ages varies with the increased usage of antihypertensive drugs in these ages. Material and Methods: One hundred and twenty patients between the ages of 40-70, who have diagnosed as having hypertension and have been using antihypertensive drugs for at least 3 months were included in this study. Each study group included 20 patients using angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, diuretics, ACE inhibitor+ diuretic combination, beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers; and a control group. After full ophthalmologic examination; tear break-up time (BUT) was measured; Schirmer I test and impression cytology at temporal bulbar conjunctiva were applied in all patients. Results: When groups were compared according to BUT and Schirmer I test; no significant difference was found between drug groups and the control group (p>0.05); but tear BUT was significantly longer in ACE inhibitor group compared to beta-blocker and diuretics groups (p=0.001 and p=0.008 respectively); and Schirmer I test was significantly more in ACE inhibitor group compared to ACE inhibitor+diuretics, beta-blocker and diuretics groups (p=0.018, p=0.020 and p=0.045 respectively). When drug groups were compared to control group according to conjunctival impression cytology, there was a significant difference in stage distribution between diuretics group and the control group (p=0.005). Conclusion: It is decided that diuretics carry higher and ACE inhibitors carry lower risk of developing dry eye in patients using antihypertensive drugs in older ages.

Özet

Amaç: İleri yaşlarda artan kuru göz görülme sıklığının yine bu yaşlarda artan antihipertansif ilaç kullanımına bağlı değişim gösterip göstermediğinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 40-70 yaş arasında olup da daha önce hipertansiyon tanısı almış ve en az 3 aydır antihipertansif ilaç kullanan 120 kişi bu çalışmaya alındı. Çalışma grupları; anjiotensin dönüştürücü enzim (ADE) inhibitörü, diüretik, ADE inhibitörü+diüretik kombinasyonu, beta-blokör, kalsiyum kanal blokörü kullanan 20’şer hasta ve 20 kişilik kontrol grubundan oluşmaktaydı. Tam oftalmolojik muayeneyi takiben tüm hastalarda gözyaşı kırılma zamanına (GKZ) bakıldı, Schirmer I testi ve temporal bulber konjonktivaya impresyon sitolojisi uygulandı. Bulgular: Gruplar GKZ ve Schirmer I testine göre karşılaştırıldığında, ilaç grupları ile kontrol grubu arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmazken (p>0.05); ADE inhibitörü grubunda GKZ’nın beta-blokör ve diüretik gruplarına göre anlamlı ölçüde uzun olduğu (sırasıyla p=0.001 ve p=0.008), yine ADE inhibitörü grubunda Schirmer I test değerinin ADE inhibitörü+diüretik, beta-blokör ve diüretik gruplarına göre anlamlı ölçüde fazla olduğu görülmüştür (sırasıyla p=0.018, p=0.020 ve p=0.045). İlaç grupları konjonktival impresyon sitolojisine göre kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırıldığında, evre dağılımı açısından diüretik grubu ile kontrol grubu arasında anlamlı fark gözlenmiştir (p=0.005). Sonuç: İleri yaşta antihipertansif ilaç kullanan hastalarda kuru göz gelişimi açısından diüretiklerin daha yüksek, ADE inhibitörlerinin ise daha düşük risk taşıdığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
