ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The goal of the research was to determine the incidence of microstructural alterations in the macula and optic nerve head (ONH) occurred in eyes treated with peripheral laser photocoagulation retinopexy.METHODS:
Patients with retinal breaks, retinal holes, retinal dialysis, and lattice degenerations who required peripheral laser photocoagulation retinopexy were recruited in this prospective case series investigation. We performed preoperative and postoperative evaluations, including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, funduscopic examination, and macular and ONH optical coherence tomography (OCT).RESULTS:
Thirty-three eyes of the twenty-three patients enrolled in this study, 14 of which were female. The mean age of the sample was 45.12 ± 9.12 years. The mean refractive error was - 2.45 ± 1.12 Diopters (D). The most prevalent reason for peripheral laser photocoagulation retinopexy was retinal thinning with symptomatic lattice degeneration (90%), followed by retinal hole and break (7%) and retinal dialysis (3%). Between preoperative and postoperative (6-month) evaluation, there was no statistically significant difference in BCVA (P = 0.82), IOP (P = 0.54), central foveal thickness in macular OCT (P = 0.39), or global retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness (P = 0.51). There was no association between changes in central foveal thickness and global RNFL thickness and total laser spot numbers (r = - 0.17 P = 0.21, r = 0.06 P = 0.60, respectively). None of patients developed cystoid macular edema (CME) or macular epiretinal membrane (ERM) .CONCLUSION:
We found that OCT parameters were not significantly affected by laser retinopexy in patients with high-risk peripheral retinal lesions, also none of our patients had developed ERM, vitromacular traction or CME at 6 months follow up periods.Palabras clave
