Abstract

Pur po se: To assess the results of phacoemulsification in patients with corneal opacity and cataract. Ma te ri al and Met hod: Fifteen eyes of 13 patients who were diagnosed as senile cataract and corneal opacity were included in the present study. All surgeries were performed under topical anesthesia. Trypan blue (0.1%) was used during the capsulorrhexis step of phacoemulsification. Following hydrodissection, phacoemulsification was performed using “quick chop” technique. Postoperatively, the patients were evaluated at 1st day, 1st week and 1st month. Preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuities, intraoperative problems, as well as postoperative follow-up data were recorded. Re sults: Nine male and four female patients were included in the study group. The mean age was 68.77±8.79 years. Capsulorrhexis and phacoemulsification were completed successfully in all patients. The mean best-corrected visual acuity was 0.1±0.09 preoperatively, whereas it was found to be 0.3±0.2 at the first month postoperatively. Dis cus si on: This study points out that in selected patients with cataract and corneal opacity, cataract surgery only could be effective in providing functional visual acuity. In these cases, trypan blue provides great convenience during capsulorrhexis. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2011; 41: 368-71)

Özet

Amaç: Kornea opasitesi ve kataraktı olan olgularda fakoemülsifikasyon sonuçlarını değerlendirmek. Ge­reç ve Yön­tem: Senil katarakt ve kornea opasitesi tanısı olan 13 hastanın 15 gözüçalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm operasyonlar topikal anestezi ile yapıldı. Fakoemülsifikasyonun kapsüloreksis basamağında %0,1’lik tripan mavisi kullanıldı. Hidrodiseksiyonu takiben fakoemülsifikasyonda “quick chop” tekniği uygulandı. Hastalar operasyon sonrası 1. gün, 1. hafta ve 1.ayda değerlendirildi. Preoperatif ve postoperatif en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri, intraoperatif problemler ve postoperatif takip verileri kaydedildi. So­nuç­lar: Dokuz erkek, dört kadın hasta çalışma grubuna dahil edildi. Yaş ortalaması 68,77±8,79 idi. Tüm hastalarda kapsüloreksis ve fakoemülsifikasyon başarıyla tamamlandı. En iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği operasyon öncesi ortalama 0,1±0,09 iken, operasyon sonrası birinci ayda 0,3±0,2 olarak bulundu. Tartışma: Bu çalışmada görüldüğü gibi kataraktı ve kornea opasitesi olan seçilmiş olgularda sadece katarakt cerrahisi ile fonksiyonel bir görme sağlanabilir. Bu olgularda tripan mavisi kapsüloreksisde büyük kolaylık sağlamaktadır. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2011; 41: 368-71)
