각막윤부절개 백내장 수술 후의 안압의 변화: 정상안과의 비교

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate short- and long- term intraocular pressure (IOP) change after cataract surgery using mid-limbal incision and to assess whether there is a statistically significant post operative IOP change. Methods: We prospectively checked IOP of 94 patients who had mid limbal incision cataract surgery and excluded the patients with preexisting glaucoma or other proven ocular diseases and high elevation (30 ㎜Hg) of IOP immediately after the surgery. Results: At 6 months after the surgery, the mean IOP of operated eye was significantly lower than that of non operated opposite eye, but the mean of normal eye was significantly elevated. Conclusions: This IOP lowering effect of mid limbal incision cataract surgery suggests that control of IOP elevation related aging would be possible.
