Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between optical coherence tomography (OCT) signal strength (SS) and visual acuity in patients with posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and evaluate the effect of PCO on retinal thickness measurements. Materials and Methods: Forty-one eyes of 35 patients who were diagnosed with PCO were included in the study. Patients with any anterior or posterior segment pathology other than PCO were excluded. After ophthalmologic examination, pupil dilation was induced using 0.5% tropicamide and OCT images were acquired. The assessment was repeated 1 month after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy and postoperative values were compared with baseline values.

Özet

Amaç: Arka kapsül opasitesi (AKO) olan hastalarda optik koherens tomografi (OKT) sinyal gücü (SG) ve görme keskinliği arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak ve AKO’nun retina kalınlık ölçümü üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmek.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 35 hastanın 41 gözü dahil edildi. AKO dışında ön segment ya da arka segment patolojisi bulunan hastalar çalışma dışında bırakıldı. Hastaların oftalmolojik muayenesi yapıldıktan sonra %0,5’lik tropikamid ile pupilla dilatasyonu sağlandı ve OKT görüntüleri alınarak kaydedildi. Nd:YAG lazer kapsülotomiyi takiben aynı uygulama postoperatif 1. ayda yapılarak elde edilen veriler kaydedildi ve işlem öncesi veriler ile istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların Nd:YAG öncesi en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri (EİDGK) 0,28±0,13 iken Nd:YAG sonrası 0,78±0,09 idi ve aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p
