Abstract
In modern surgery of complicated cataracts, an important factor is the preservation of visual functions with minimal costs. The surgeon’s experience and modern technology, which makes it possible to identify hidden symptoms of certain pathologies at the diagnostic stage, allows for a favorable completion of surgery with minimal intraoperative complications. This article shows the approach and observations of patients at risk of increasing eye pressure in the postoperative period due to the anatomical structures of the eye (in these cases, patients with open-angle glaucoma) to antihypertensive drugs. 131 patients (134 eyes) with various signs of pseudoexfoliation syndrome participated in the observation. Before planned surgery for complicated cataracts, all patients underwent ophthalmological diagnostics, medical history, and laboratory tests according to generally accepted methods. All operations were performed by the same surgeon. Cataract surgery was performed according to the standard technique (Phaco + intraocular lens) through a 2.2 mm incision, two 1.2 mm paracentesis, but for some patients other components of surgical interventions were added. In the observation groups, for better fixation and a lower percentage of complications in long-term follow-up periods, RPR, T-19, Myol were implanted in 27.7%. A large percentage of 34% were implanted with the HO Acrylic IOL model lens, which requires a 2.2 mm corneal incision. In observation groups 2 and 3, 32.5 and 31.8% preferred lenses to the Acrysoft IQ model. And in 32.5% and 13.6%, respectively, the AFY model. The choice of the method of surgical intervention, as well as the model of intraocular lenses, made it possible to predict the long-term postoperative period with less toxicity for the patient’s condition. No intraoperative complications were observed; the administration of antihypertensive drops, both in combination and in monotherapy in the early stages of the postoperative period, allowed maintaining eye pressure within normal limits in all observation groups.
