Intraocular pressure changes and the implications on patient review after phacoemulsification

Abstract: The results show it is safe to review patients 2 hours after uneventful phacoemulsification and omit the next-day review. This enhances patient acceptance of true day-case cataract surgery as it eliminates the need for an inpatient stay and transport on the following day. It also improves utilization of hospital resources. A larger study will help confirm the conclusions of this study.

“…In most cases, these subjects had open-angle or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In addition to providing statistically significant and clinically relevant IOPlowering, the study stent significantly reduced the mean number of medications needed to control IOP (1.0 fewer medications, P<0.0001) and allowed most subjects to completely discontinue all glaucoma medications.…”

“…Já no estudo em que foram incluídos 100 olhos de 100 pacientes normais submetidos à facoemulsificação, observou-se um aumento significativo da PIO, 2 horas após a cirurgia. A PIO diminui após 24 horas e após 1 semana, chegando a valores semelhantes àqueles encontrados no pré-operatório (8) . Um outro trabalho demonstrou um aumento da PIO tanto 4 a 6 horas, quanto 24 horas após a facoemulsificação (9) .…”
