Abstract

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of transscleral diode laser Cyclophotocoagulation treatment on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients who have refractory glaucoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Transscleral diode laser Cyclophotocoagulation treatment was applied to 35 eyes of 32 patients who had uncontrolled glaucoma with maximum tolerated medical therapy and surgery. The mean pretreatment IOP was 38.6 ± 8.9 mmHg. Three eyes were pseudophakic, 8 eyes were aphakic and 21 eyes were phakic. Five eyes had pseudoexfoliative glaucoma and 3 of them had been underwent glaucoma surgery. Two eyes had angle closure glaucoma, 10 eyes had neovascular glaucoma and 2 eyes had juvenile glaucoma. Seven eyes had aphakic glaucoma and 6 of these had been underwent glaucoma surgery. One aphakic eye had been underwent pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy operation and had glaucoma due to silicon oil. One eye was pseudophakic and had secondary glaucoma: Seven eyes had primary open angle glaucoma and 4 of them had underwent glaucoma surgery. RESULTS: The mean IOP at last examination was 19.5 ± 5.5 mmHg. At last examination IOP of 24 eyes were equal or below 21 mmHg (% 68.6), IOP of 11 eyes were above 21 mmHg (%31.4). Of the 35 eyes in 2 eyes (%6) visual acuity decreased 1 line, in 2 eyes (%6) visual acuity increased 1 line and in 31 eyes (%88) visual acuity remained the same according to Snellen chart.

Özet

AMAÇ: Refrakter glokomu olan hastalarda transskleral diode laser Siklofotokoagulasyon tedavisinin göz içi basıncına etkisini araştırmak. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Maksimum tolere edilen medikal tedavi ve cerrahi yöntemler ile göz içi basıncı kontrol altına alınamayan 32 hastanın 35 gözüne transskleral diode laser Siklofotokoagulasyon tedavisi uygulandı. Tedavi öncesi ortalama göz içi basıncı 38.6±8.9 mmHg'ydı. 35 gözün 5'inde psödoeksfoliyasyon glokomu mevcuttu, 3'ü önceden glokom ameliyatı geçirmişti. 2'sinde dar açılı glokom, 10'unda tip 2 diabete bağlı neovasküler glokom, 2'sinde juvenil glokom mevcuttu. Afak olan 8 gözün 6'sı önceden glokom ameliyatı geçirmişti. Afak olan gözlerden 1'i pars plana lensektomi ve vitrektomi ameliyatı geçirmişti, silikon yağına sekonder glokomu mevcuttu. Bir göz katarakt ameliyatı geçirmiş olup, lense bağlı sekonder glokomu mevcuttu. Primer açık açılı glokom olan 7 gözün 4'ü önceden glokom ameliyatı geçirmişti. SONUÇLAR: Ortalama göz içi basıncı son takipte 19.5 ± 5.5 mmHg'ydı. Son takipte 35 gözün 24'ünde (%68.6) göz içi basıncı 21 mmHg ve altında, 11'inde (%31.4) 21 mmHg'nın üstünde bulundu (%31.4). 35 gözün 2'sinde (%6) Snellen eşeline göre görme keskinliğinde 1 sıra azalma, 2 gözde (%6) 1 sıra artma saptanırken, 31 gözde (%88) görme keskinliği aynı seviyede kaldı.
