Abstract
Retinal OCT measurements were analyzed after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients. A total of 190 patients (205 eyes) were examined. Two different groups were analyzed. Patients in Group 1 (32 eyes) had been treated with prostaglandin analogs before surgery (phacoemulsification or phacoemulsification + pressure lowering procedure) and after it when needed. However, these drops were stopped one day prior to surgery. Patients in Group 2 (173 eyes) were used as the control. The mean follow-up period after surgery was 12 months. During the entire follow-up period, in all patients had OCT monitoring at the 2nd-3rd day after surgery, 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, and 12 months. The OCT measurements were not statistically different between Group 1 (32 eyes) and Group 2 (173 eyes). According to our results, there was no significant influence of pre-operative prostaglandin use on the retinal thickness when compared to patients not using this therapy.
