📌 3 Key Takeaways
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of cataract surgery on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome. Patients and Methods: The 43 eyes of 43 PEX syndrome patients who had a cataract surgery in our clinic between October 2003 and March 2004 were included in the study. Preoperative and postoperative sixth month IOP measurements were compared. Results: The IOP values measured at sixth month of the postoperative were significantly lower than preoperative values (p<0.001). These was no significant difference between the phacoemulsification+intraocular lens implantation and extracapsular cataract extraction+intraocular lens implantation surgeries with respect to IOP change (p>0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the cataract surgery with lens implantation has a reducing effect on the IOP in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
Özet
Amaç: Psödoeksfoliasyon (PEX) Sendromu saptanan senil katarakt olgularında katarakt cerrahisinin göz içi basıncına (GİB) etkisini incelemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kliniğimizde Ekim 2003-Mart 2004 tarihleri arasında katarakt operasyonu geçiren PEX sendromlu 43 hastanın 43 gözü incelendi. Hastaların preoperatif GİB'ı ile postoperatif 6. aydaki GİB'ı değerleri karşılaştırıldı Bulgular: Postoperatif 6. aydaki GİB'ları preoperatif dönemdekilere göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük bulundu (p 0.05). Sonuç: Psödoeksfoliasyon sendromlu katarakt hastalarında göz içi lens implantasyonlu katarakt cerrahisinin göz içi basıncı üzerinde düşürücü etkisi olduğu görüldü.
