At present, with the likelihood of vitreoretinal surgery, a factor of increased intraocular pressure has emerged in the postoperative period and has become widespread as a potential risk factor for damage to the optic nerve. Sequelae of secondary glaucoma leading to loss of visual fields often occur. An analysis was made of the surgical treatment of 21 patients (21 eyes) with secondary glaucoma after vitreoretinal surgery using anterior anterior chamber plasty in order to assess efficacy and safety.

Purpose. To compare the parameters of a light sensitivity (LS) of the central zone of a retina after vitrectomy due to reghmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with a silicone oil tamponade (SOT) and gas tamponade (GT). Material and methods. The study included 20 eyes after pars plana vitrectomy due to macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) by 25G. All patients were divided in 2 groups depending on the choice of the tamponade. The group I (10 eyes) included cases with the silicone oil tamponade (SOT) (1300 cSt), in the group II (10 eyes) – the gas tamponade (GT) (C2F6). The control group included contralateral eyes without ophthalmic pathology. All patients underwent standard ophthalmological examination and fundus- microperimetry (FMP) on the 30th day after removal of the SOT for the group I, or on the 30th day after the C2F6 tamponade for the group II. Results. According to FMP data, the parameter of average light sensitivity (LS) in the group I was significantly reduced, both in comparison with the group II (p=0.007) and the control group (p=0.003). Differentiation by zones in the group I revealed a decrease in each analyzed parameter in comparison with the control group (p<0.05) and a decrease in the 2nd zone (p=0.031) and the 4th zone (p=0.038) in comparison with the group II. In the 1st zone of the group I the formation of a relative scotoma was revealed in 4 cases out of 10 (40%). The parameters of light sensitivity (LS) in comparison with the control in the group II were significantly reduced when analyzed in each zone (p<0.05). A strong positive correlation was found between the Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) and the average LS in the group II (r=0.87). Conclusion. There is a decrease in the functional parameters of the retina with SOT compared with GT in the form of a decrease in the LS parameter in the 10° zone according to FMP data. Key words: retinal detachment, photosensitivity, microperimetry, silicone tamponade.
