| Summary: |
Purpose: To investigate the effect of 0,25%
betaxolol (Betoptic S) in the normal myopia eye, on steroid-induced intraocular pressure
(IOP) elevations in patients undergoing radial keratotomy.
Material and methods: Radial keratotomy was performed on 27 patients (43
eyes). All these patients during the period of 3 months after surgery were treated with
0,1% dexamethasone drops in decreasing doses and 0,25% betaxolol (Betoptic S) drops twice
a day. Ophthalmic examination and IOP measurements were made on 1, 2, 3, 14, 30, 60 day
after operation.
Results: During 3 months of postoperative period 27,9% of eyes had IOP
exceeding 25 mm Hg, or had an increase of IOP of 10 mm Hg or more.
Conclusions: The results of the current study and the study published by
the author previously lead to conclusion, that 0,25% betaxolol (Betoptic S) in the normal
myopia eye, decreases the risk of steroid-induced IOP elevation in patients after radial
keratotomy, but does not prevent it. |
