Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the effectiveness of lensectomy with a glued intraocular lens (IOL) on spherophakic eyes suffering from secondary glaucoma, involving 19 participants over a period from 2016 to 2018.
- It finds that while the surgery significantly improved vision and reduced refractive errors, the long-term success of maintaining proper intraocular pressure (IOP) without glaucoma medications decreased over time, with a notable risk factor being the number of antiglaucoma medications taken preoperatively.
- The conclusion highlights that about one-third of the patients achieved IOP control without medication after the surgery, indicating its potential positive impact on visual outcomes but warning that pre-surgery medication use can lead to less favorable results.
Precis: Preoperative intravenous (IV) dexmedetomidine produced a 33% reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) within 15 minutes of administration in patients with glaucoma.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of preoperative IV dexmedetomidine on IOP in adult patients undergoing glaucoma surgery under local anesthesia.
Methods: In a prospective interventional case series, 12 patients with uncontrolled IOP (IOP>24 mm Hg in both the eyes) with the systemic status of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-II, received IV dexmedetomidine 0.
