Intraocular Pressure After Acetonide Triamcinolone Assisted Anterior Vitrectomy In Patients Who Underwent Complicated Cataract Surgery
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To determine the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients that underwent complicated cataract surgery with triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-assisted anterior vitrectomy. Materials and Methods: We evaluated retrospectively the BCVA and IOP of 29 eyes in 27 patients (15 female, 12 men) who underwent triamcinolone-assisted anterior vitrectomy during cataract surgery. All surgeries performed via clear corneal incisions and under local anesthesia (retrobulbar anesthesia). Preoperative and postoperative values of BCVA and IOP were compared between baseline and at 12 months. Student’s t-test was used for statistical analysis. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean preoperative IOP was 18.0±2.5 mm Hg, and mean postoperative IOP was 17±3,0 at follow up time (p<0.05). The mean preoperative BCVA was 0.6 logMAR, and mean postoperative BCVA was 0.20 logMAR at 12 months (p < 0.001). Retinal detachment, endopthalmitis, and psedoendopthalmitis were not observed. Conclusion: Triamcinolone acetonide which used for anterior vitrectomy during complicated cataract surgery had no effect on IOP at 12 months. Keywords: anterior vitrectomy, cataract surgery, triamcinolone acetonide
