| Summary: |
Purpose: The main purpose of the study is
the evaluation of the dependence between lens thickness in eyes with cataract and glaucoma
and the intraocular pressure after cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens
implantation.
Material and methods: 138 eyes with cataract and glaucoma were examined.
Patients were divided into three groups according to the type of glaucoma:
I open angle glaucoma
II closed angle glaucoma
III glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation syndrome
All patients received preoperatively drugs reducing intraocular hypertension. The
intraocular pressure was measured on operation day and on the first and fifth day after.
The subsequent measurements were carried out one month, 3 months and nine months
postoperatively. Lens thickness measurement was conducted with ultrasonography one day
before operation.
Results: The dependence between lens thickness and intraocular pressure
normalization (p<0.005) has been found on the basis of statistical research with
t-Student test in the closed angle glaucoma group with the greatest preoperative lens
thickness.
Conclusions: The statistically proven dependence between preoperative
lens thickness and postoperative intraocular pressure reduction in patients with the
closed angle glaucoma, has been found on the basis of conducted research. |
