Evaluation of intraocular pressure in the immediate postoperative period after phacoemulsification

Abstract: Postoperative hypotony (IOP <5 mm Hg) occurred in 19 (6.1%) of 310 eyes. At 1 day, IOP higher than 30 mm Hg was more frequent in glaucoma eyes than in normal eyes. Although there were no direct problems related to hypotony at 30 minutes or to elevated IOP (>30 mm Hg) at 1 day, surgeons should be aware of and check for IOP variability (low and high) that can occur in normal, glaucoma, and glaucoma-suspect eyes within the first 24 hours after surgery.

“…18,19,23,24 In this study, there were also a few cases of a slight postoperative IOP increase, which has also been reported after cataract surgery. 25,26 This study is not without limitations. The number of patients was small, and extrapolating these results to a larger group may not be possible.…”

“…5,[31][32][33][34] Glaucomatous eye had a higher IOP than normal eyes and glaucoma suspect eyes at POD1, even with the use of topical b-blockers and a-agonists at the time of surgery in glaucoma and glaucoma suspect eyes. 32 The IOP in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) increased from postoperative day 1 to 3 and afterward gradually decreased, whereas the IOP in normal eyes was reduced from the first day after surgery. 33 Myopia is known to be one of risk factors for POAG.…”

“…Hence, as Shingleton et al suggested, the length of the corneal incision would be another important risk factor for postoperative high IOP. 21 In conclusion, early postoperative IOP rise is a common problem following phacoemulsification. Anterior chamber decompression is a safe and effective way to control early high IOP.…”
