Intraocular pressure in the first days after implantation of posterior chamber lenses with the use of sodium hyaluronate (Healon®)

Abstract: Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured before and 6, 24, 48 and 72 h after extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chambers lens in 3 groups of patients. Group I (30 patients): Sodium hyaluronate (Healon) was used during anterior capsulotomy and lens implantation and was aspirated at the end of surgery. Group II (22 patients): Healon as in group I + 500 mg acetazolamide at the end of surgery. Group III (17 patients): BSS and/or air was used instead of Healon during surgery. In all g… Show more

“…While this increase is usually well-tolerated in normal eyes, eyes with glaucoma do have the risk of developing visual function loss during this episode. [10][11][12][13] In the present study, we found a significant increase in IOP on the first postoperative day from 15.6 to 19.7 mmHg. Approximately 31% had high IOP on the first postoperative day.…”

“…2 A partial list of the factors that can elevate IOP in the immediate postoperative period include damage to the trabecular meshwork (Campbell DG, Grant WM. IOVS 1977; 16:ARVO Abstract 10), use of ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs), 3,4 inflammatory debris, hyphema, pupillary block, and peripheral anterior synechias. Postoperative hypotony is relatively uncommon in the era of small-incision cataract surgery, but if present, it may predispose to intraocular infection.…”

“…MacRae et al (1983) found that Healon better protected the corneal endothelium from injury than did HPMC, but also that Healon induced the highest increase in post-operative intraocular pressure. The hyaluronate-induced increase in post-operative intraocular pressure has also found by other investigators (Barron et al 1985;Naeser et al 1986). …”
