Incidence and outcomes of ocular hypertension from rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery in the acute postoperative setting
Clinical Ophthalmology Aug 24, 2019
Bromeo AJ, et al. - In this single center prospective cohort study, researchers determined the incidence of ocular hypertension following surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the first 3 months postoperatively and determined their results in terms of visual acuity, control of intraocular pressure (IOP), and changes in cup:disc ratio. The study sample consisted of patients who had retinal surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Study participants were followed up postoperatively for 3 months and monitored for ocular hypertension development. Of the 52 eyes included in the study, 19 eyes developed postoperatively ocular hypertension in the first 3 months, resulting in an incidence rate of 36.5%. Findings suggested that ocular hypertension can complicate retinal reattachment surgery. IOP control in the acute setting is essential to prevent secondary glaucoma from developing.
