Abstract

Aim: To evaluate visual field findings that occured secondary to dermatochalasis and to investigate the changes of these findings after blepharoplasty in dermatochalasis patients. Material and Method: Sixty eyes of 30 patients operated for upper eyelid dermatochalasis between January 2009 and June 2011 were evaluated in this study. Vertical fissure height and upper margin reflex distance (MRD) measurements and visual field testing using a computerized static perimeter were performed preoperatively and postoperatively at month three. Patients were divided into two groups according to preoperative MRD: MRD<2.5 mm (Group 1) and MRD&#8805;2.5 mm (Group 2). Results: The mean age was 56.5±9.2 years (min-max: 36-72). The groups were similar regarding the age and gender (p>0.05). Preoperatively, 38 (79.2%) eyes had superior visual field defects. Superior visual field defects improved significantly in both groups (p=0.016 for Group 1; p=0.006 for Group 2). Conclusions: Perimetry is important in the assessment of surgical effectiveness of the blepharoplasty as an objective indicator of the degree of visual field defects produced by the dermatochalasis and the improvement of the defect after blepharoplasty. Taping the upper lid can not produce constant fissure height leading to variable visual field results. Thus in order to not relate the defect to glaucoma, blepharoplasty must be suggested to glaucoma and glaucoma suspect patients.

Özet

Amaç: Dermatoşalazisli olgularda görme alanı bulgularını değerlendirmek ve blefaroplasti sonrası değişikliklerini incelemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2009 - Haziran 2011 tarihleri arasında dermatoşalazis nedeniyle üst kapak blefaroplastisi yapılan 30 hastanın 60 gözü çalışma kapsamında incelendi. Ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası 3. ayda vertikal kapak aralığı, üst kapak kenarı ile korneal ışık reflesi arasındaki mesafe (üst MRD - Margin Reflex Distance) ölçüldü, bilgisayarlı statik perimetre ile görme alanı testi yapıldı. Hastalar ameliyat öncesi MRD’lerine göre iki gruba ayrıldı: MRD 0,05). Ameliyat öncesinde, 38 (%79,2) gözde üstte skotom mevcuttu. Blefaroplasti sonrası her iki grupta, ameliyat öncesine göre üst kadran görme alanı defektinde anlamlı düzelme gözlendi (Grup 1 için p=0,016; Grup 2 için p=0,006 ). Sonuç: Perimetri, dermatoşalazisin neden olduğu görme alanı defektinin düzeyi ve blefaroplasti sonrası defektin düzelme miktarının objektif bir göstergesi olduğundan yapılan cerrahinin etkinliğini değerlendirmede önemlidir. Flasterleme ile aynı kapak aralığı sağlanamayacağından değişken görme alanı sonuçları elde edilmektedir. Bu nedenle glokom şüphesi ve glokomu bulunan hastalarda defektin yanlışlıkla glokomla ilişkilendirilmemesi için hastaya blefaroplasti cerrahisi önerilmelidir.
