Abstract

Purpose: To investigate macular thickness changes after uneventful cataract surgery performed with phacoemulsification method using optical coherence tomography.Materials and Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 30 eyes of 30 patients (15 men, 15 women, mean age 62.63±7.15 years) who underwent phacoemulsification surgery. A complete ophthalmic examination and OCT were performed to all patients preoperatively and at 1 month, 3 month, and 6 month postoperatively. The obtained data were statistically evaluated. Results: The mean values of preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity were statistically different (p<0.01). The mean values of preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure were not statistically different (p>0.05). Mean macular thickness and central macular thickness measurements were performed before surgery and postoperatively at month 1,3,6. Preoperative mean macular thickness was not statistically different from postoperative 1 month mean macular thickness (p=0.09). There was no difference in mean macular thickness between OCT measurements preoperative and postoperative at 1 month, while mean macular thickness at 3 month and 6 month were significantly higher than properative values(p= 0.006 and 0.007 respectively). Central macular thickness values were not different preoperatively and postoperative at month 1,3, and 6, by OCT examinations. Conclusion: Macular thickness changes were detected after phacoemulsification surgery. To detect pathologic conditions which come from these changes further studies required.

Özet

Amaç: Fakoemulsifikasyon yöntemi ile yapılan komplikasyonsuz katarakt cerrahisinin maküla kalınlığı üzerine olan etkisinin optik koherens tomografi (OKT) ile incelenmesi.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu prospektif çalışma fakoemulsifikasyon cerrrahisi yapılan 30 hastanın 30 gözü (15 erkek, 15 bayan, ortalama yaş 62.63±7.15) üzerinden yapıldı. Tüm hastalara cerrahi öncesi ve cerrahi sonrası 1. ay, 3. ay ve 6. ayda rutin göz muayenesi ve OKT tetkiki yapıldı. Elde edilen veriler istatiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Cerrahi öncesi ve sonrası görme keskinlikleri değerlendirildiğinde, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlendi (p 0.05). Hastalarda cerrahi öncesi, cerrahi sonrası 1. ay, 3. ay ve 6. ay maküla OKT ile ortalama maküla kalınlığı ve santral maküla kalınlığı değerlendirildiğinde cerrahi öncesi elde edilen ortalama maküla kalınlığı ile cerrahi sonrası 1. ayda elde edilen ortalama maküla kalınlığı arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edilemezken (p=0.09), 3 ve 6. aylarda elde edilen ortalama maküla kalınlıklarının belirgin olarak yüksek oldukları saptandı (p değerleri sırasıyla 0.006 ve 0.007). Santral maküla kalınlığı değerlendirildiğinde; cerrahi öncesi elde edilen değerler cerrahi sonrası kontrollerde elde edilen değerlerle karşılaştırıldığı zaman istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlenmedi (p değerleri 1, 3 ve 6. aylar için sırasıyla 0.615, 0.182 ve 0.255). Sonuç: Fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi sonrasında maküla kalınlığında değişim olduğu görülmektedir. Bu değişimin neden olacağı patolojik durumların ortaya çıkarılması için ileri çalışmalar gerekmektedir
