Intraocular Pressure Changes Before and After (Within 1st Week and 1st Month) Cataract Surgery in Patients with and without Glaucoma in Benghazi Teaching Eye Hospital

Prof. Sabah Aldressi, Mohammed Embaig

Abstract


Background: The concurrent existence of cataract and glaucoma is a common finding in the aging population and this trend is likely to increase worldwide as the population ages. Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed ophthalmic surgical procedure of any kind. Modern phacoemulsification techniques give us the ability to rehabilitate patients with vision loss secondary to cataract. Aim of the study: The objective of the study was to compare intraocular pressure changes before and After Cataract Surgery (within 1st week and 1st month) in patients with and without Glaucoma in Benghazi Teaching Eye Hospital, Lybia. Patients & Methods: This prospective randomized study was carried out on 100 eyes that underwent measuring IOP by air puff and applanation tonometer before phacoemulsification and IOL implantation and one week, one-month post-operative in Benghazi Teaching Eye Hospital, Lybia. Results: There were no differences in the baseline demographics between the two groups, except for better preoperative visual acuity in the glaucoma group (P < 0.05). there was a positive correlation between the preoperative value and postoperative 1 day (P < 0.001); but there was a negative correlation  between preoperative value and postoperative 1 week and 1 month, (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Intraocular pressure significantly decreased after phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Cataract surgery without complication can lower the intraocular pressure and can improve the visual acuity with short period of follow up not like the traditional glaucoma  surgery  which  need  long follow  up  and special care  more than phacoemulsification.
