Intraocular pressure after triamcinolone acetonide assisted anterior vitrectomy in patients with posterior capsular rent during cataract surgery
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim of the Study: To study the postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)after triamcinolone acetonide assisted anterior vitrectomy in patients who had posterior capsular rent during cataract surgery Materials and Methods: A prospective study was done in thirty patients(18 females and12 males) who underwent triamcinolone assisted anterior vitrectomy during complicated cataract surgery. Slit lamp biomicroscopic examination, visual acquity, and IOP measurements were done at baseline (preoperatively) and 24hour, one week and permonthly until six months postoperatively. All surgeries were done under peribulbaranaesthesia. Phacoemulsification was done in all patients. Clear corneal tunnel in twenty five patients and sclera tunnel in five patients who had very hard cataract (nuclear scelerosis grade - V) were made. Results: The mean preoperative IOP was 17.0±2.0 mm Hg, and mean postoperative IOP was l8±3.0 at follow up time (p<0.05). The mean preoperative BCVA was 0.6 log MAR, and mean postoperative BCVA was 0.20 log MAR at six months (p < 0.001). Retinal detachment, endophthalmitis were not observed. Conclusion: Triamcinolone acetonide when used for anterior vitrectomy during complicated cataract surgery had no effect on IOP at six months.
