Abstract

Pur po se: To determine the tear osmolarity changes in patients who had undergone phacoemulsification surgery. Ma te ri al and Met hod: Tear osmolarity measurements were performed in 30 eyes of 30 patients who had undergone cataract surgery without any complication. Measurements were performed before surgery and consecutively at 1st month, 3rd month, and 6th month after the surgery. TearLab osmometer (TearLab Corporation, San Diego, CA, USA) device was used for the measurements and paired ttest was used for statistical analysis. Re sults: The mean age of the patients was 72.3±3.7 (67-78) years. Thirteen patients were men and 17 patients were women. The mean osmolarity values were 305.8±6.5 mOsm/L before the surgery and 312.3±6.4 mOsm/L at 1st month, 307.5±5.1 mOsm/L at 3rd month and 305.1±5.7 at 6th month after the surgery. The difference between the values before surgery and at 1st month was found statistically significant (p=0.001). Dis cus si on: The tear osmolarity increases at the first month after surgery but decreases to the levels measured before surgery at the 3rd month. The increase at the first month may be due to the corneal incisions and medication used after the surgery. We think that we have to take into account this similarity increase in all cataract patients, especially in those who also have dry eye disease.

Özet

Amaç: Katarakt cerrahisi uygulanan olgularda gözyaşı osmolarite değişikliklerinin saptanması. Ge­reç ve Yön­tem: Sorunsuz fakoemülsifikasyon cerrahisi uygulanan 30 olgunun 30 gözünde cerrahi öncesi, cerrahi sonrası 1.ay, 3.ay ve 6. ayda gözyaşı osmolarite ölçümü yapıldı. Ölçümler için TearLab osmometre cihazı (TearLab Corporation, San Diego, CA, USA), istatistiksel değerlendirmede ise paired -t test kullanıldı.So­nuç­lar: Olguların yaş ortalamaları 72,3±3,7 (67-78) yıldı. Onüç olgu erkek, 17 olgu kadındı. Olguların osmolarite ölçüm ortalama değerleri cerrahi öncesi 305,8±6,5 mOsm/L, cerrahi sonrası 1.ayda 312,3±6,4 mOsm/L, cerrahi sonrası 3. ayda 307,5±5,1 mOsm/L, cerrahi sonrası 6. ayda 305,1±5,7 mOsm/L olarak tespit edildi. Cerrahi öncesi ve cerrahi sonrası 1.ay osmolarite değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulundu (p0,001).Tar­tışma: Cerrahi sonrası 1.ayda gözyaşı osmolarite değeri anlamlı olarak artmakta ancak 3. ayda cerrahi öncesi seviyelere dönmektedir. Birinci aydaki bu osmolarite artışı cerrahi kesilere ve cerrahi sonrası kullanılan ilaçlara bağlı olabilir. Tüm katarakt cerrahisi uygulanan olgularda ve özellikle kuru göz hastalarında bu bulguyu dikkate almak gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
