Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the change in anterior chamber depth, central corneal thickness and in- traocular pressure after cataract surgery in non-glaucomatous eyes with narrow anterior chamber depth. Material and Method: Eighteen eyes of 12 patients with narrow anterior chamber and 18 eyes of 15 patients with normal anterior chamber depth scheduled for cataract surgery were included in this prospective study. Microcoaxial cataract surgery was performed to all eyes. The changes in anterior chamber depth, central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure were evaluated. Measurements were performed 3 days before, and 1st week, 1st, 2nd, 3rd months after surgery. Results: While the mean anterior chamber depth was 2.76±0.3 mm preoperatively in eyes with narrow anterior chamber, it was measured as 3.39±0.4 mm at 3rd month (p<0.001). In control group, while the mean anterior chamber depth was 3.15±0.8 mm preoperatively, it was 3.63±0.5 mm at 3rd month (p<0.01). The increase in central corneal thickness was 55 μm in study group, 26 μm in control group at 1st week. The increase was significant in study group at 1st week, but not significant at 1st month and next visits, when compared with control group. The change in corrected intraocular pressure was 1.8 mm Hg in study group, 0.9 mm Hg in control group at 3rd month visit, and the difference was not statistically significant between groups (P>.05) . Conclusion: The changes in central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure in non- glaucomatous eyes with narrow anterior chamber are different from normal eyes after cataract surgery.
Özet
Amaç: Glokomsuz dar ön kamarası olan gözlerde katarakt ameliyatı sonrasında ön kama- ra derinliği, santral kornea kalınlığı ve göziçi basınç değişimlerini değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Katarakt cerrahisi planlanan ve dar ön kamarası olan 12 hastanın 18 gözü ile katarakt cerrahisi planlanan ve normal ön kamara derinliği olan 15 hastanın 18 gö- zü prospektif olarak çalışmaya alındı. Tüm gözlere mikrokoaksiyel katarakt cerrahisi yapıldı. Ön kamara derinliği, santral kornea kalınlığı ve göziçi basıncı değişimleri değerlendirildi. Ölçümler ameliyat öncesi 3. gün ve ameliyat sonrası 1. hafta 1., 2., 3. aylarda yapıldı. Bulgular: Dar ön kamaralı gözlerde ameliyat öncesi ön kamara derinliği ortalama 2,76± 0,3 mm iken 3. ayda 3,39±0,4 mm olarak ölçüldü (p .05). Sonuç: Glokomsuz dar ön kamaralı gözlerde katarakt cerrahisi sonrasında santral kornea kalınlığı ve göziçi basıncı değişimi normal gözlere göre farklılık göstermektedir.
