Influence of Different Tamponade Eyes on IOL-capsular Complex After Cataract Surgery Combined With Vitrectomy
Influence of Different Tamponade Eyes on IOL-capsular Complex After Cataract Surgery Combined With Vitrectomy
Cataract and vitreoretinal diseases often occur simultaneously or cataract is a predictable consequence of vitreoretinal surgery.A combined surgery called phacovitrectomy, has been proved to be comparably safe and effective compared with vitrectomy alone. For fundus surgeons, silicone oil（SO）,gas and balanced saline solution are frequently-used intravitreal tamponade mediums for retinal repair after vitrectomy. There are many factors that may affect how the lens changes position after the operation including the different intravitreal tamponade materials and different IOL types. This study was designed to evaluate the differences of IOL position and capsule bending between Silicone oil filled eyes，gas filled eyes, balanced saline solution filled eyes and normal eyes.
The IOL-capsular complex is formed after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Early postoperative mechanical wrapping of the anterior and posterior capsules plays a significant role in preventing IOL decentration and tilt, as well as formation of the IOL-capsular complex which reduces the incidence of posterior cataract opacity.
Although up to 2-3 degree tilt and a 0.2-0.3 mm decentration are common and clinically unnoticed, larger extent of tilt and decentration has a negative impact on the optical performance. IOL decentration ≥ 0.4 mm or/and IOL tilt ≥7degree were considered clinically significant because of poor post-surgery visual quality.
Currently, there is no literature guidance to compare the results of phacovitrectomy combined various types of intravitreal tamponade materials in patients using CASIA2. The novel anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) device, CASIA2 can evaluate the IOL capsule bending and the lens position after cataract surgery. Also, CASIA2 can be used to documented the dynamic changes of IOL-capsular complex after surgery.
Cataract and vitreoretinal diseases often occur simultaneously or cataract is a predictable consequence of vitreoretinal surgery. Although the optimal treatment for patients with both vitreoretinal and cataract disease is still a matter of debate, a combined surgery called phacovitrectomy, has been proved to be comparably safe and effective compared with vitrectomy alone. For fundus surgeons, silicone oil（SO）,gas and balanced saline solution are frequently-used intravitreal tamponade mediums for retinal repair after vitrectomy. As a biochemically inert polymer, SO is widely used in vitreoretinal surgery and was considered to be well-tolerated and not threatening to retinal physiology. The gases in therapeutic use ([SF6], [C2F6], or [C3F8]) may be mixed with air in vitrectomy or used as 100% gas in pneumatic retinopexy.
