EFFECT OF AXIAL LENGTH ON ANTERIOR CHAMBER PARAMETERS AND INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE CHANGES AFTER PHACOEMULSIFICATION SURGERY
Objective: To investigate the changes in anterior chamber (AC) parameters, central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, and the effect of axial length (AL) on these parameters. Material and Method: In the study, 106...

| description | Objective: To investigate the changes in anterior chamber (AC) parameters, central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, and the effect of axial length (AL) on these parameters. Material and Method: In the study, 106 eyes of 89 patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups with AL measurements of 21<AL≤23 mm (57 eyes) and 23<AL≤26 mm (49 eyes). AL measurements were made with IOLMaster 500. All patients were assesed preoperatively and postoperatively on the 3rd month. Pentacam HR was used to measure the depth of AC (ACD), volume of AC (ACV), angle of AC (ACA) and CCT. IOP measurements were performed with a Goldman applanation tonometer. T-test and one-way analysis of variance were used for data analysis. p≤0.05 was considered significant. Results: ACD, ACA, ACV and IOP changes were significant in the postoperative 3rd month (p<0.001 in all). The increase in CCT was not significant (p=0.24). ACD (p=0.044) and ACA (p=0.006) increased significantly in the group with 21<AU≤23 mm compared to the other group. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of ACV (p=0.16), CCT (p=0.87) and IOP (p=0.89) changes. Conclusion: Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation in normotensive eyes significantly increase ACD, ACV and ACA, and decrease IOP. In eyes with AU≤ 23 mm, ACD and ACA increased significantly after surgery. |
