Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of uncomplicated cataract surgery on central macular thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness, ganglion cell complex thickness. Material and Method: This prospective clinical study included 60 eyes of 60 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery with no systemic or ocular disease. Preoperative and postoperative 1 st week, 1 month central macular thickness, choroidal thickness, ganglion cell complex thickness measurements were recorded with optical coherence tomography. Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.6 ± 6.5 (48-84) years. Mean central macular thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness, gan- glion cell complex thickness were significantly increased at 1 week and 1 month postoperatively (p<0.001). There was no statistically signifi- cant difference between the measurements taken at first week and first month. Conclusion: Although cataract surgery provides significant visual acuity, it causes changes in the retina after uncomplicated surgeries even in healthy individuals. These changes, especially in patients with systemic disease, should be considered and it should be kept in mind that pa- tients should be evaluated carefully after surgery.

Özet

Amaç: Komplike olmayan katarakt cerrahisinin santral maküla kalınlığı, subfoveal koroidal kalınlık, ganliyon hücre kompleks kalınlığı üzerine etkisini değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu prospektif klinik çalışmaya sistemik ve oküler hastalığı olmayıp komplikasyonsuz katarakt cerrahisi geçiren 60 has- tanın 60 gözü dahil edildi. Hastaların operasyon öncesi ve operasyon sonrası 1. hafta, 1. ay santral maküla kalınlığı, koroidal kalınlık, ganli- yon hücre kompleks kalınlık ölçümleri optik koherans tomografi cihazı ile kaydedildi. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 67,6±6.5 (48-84) yıl idi. Ortalama santral maküla kalınlığı başlangıçta 233.80±15.20 μm iken, ope- rasyon sonrası 1. ayda 251.66±15.40 μm idi (p<0.001). Ortalama koroidal kalınlık başlangıçta 222,50±75,12 μm iken, operasyon sonrası 1. ay- da 256.19±68.30 μm idi (p<0.001). Ortalama gangliyon hücre kompleks kalınlığı başlangıçta 90,352±12,43 μm iken, operasyon sonrası 1. ay- da 95,210±10,11 μm idi (p<0.001). 1. hafta ve 1. ayda alınan ölçümler arasında ise istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık yoktu. Sonuç: Katarakt cerrahisi önemli görme artışı sağlamakla birlikte, sağlıklı bireylerde dahi komplike olmayan cerrahiler sonrası retinada değişikliklere neden olmaktadır. Özellikle sistemik hastalığı olan olgularda bu değişiklikler göz önünde bulundurulmalı, cerrahi sonrası hasta- ların dikkatli değerlendirilmesi gerektiği akılda tutulmalıdır.
