Is the 1-day postoperative IOP check needed post uncomplicated phacoemulsification in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension?

Abstract: Purpose To determine whether the 1-day postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) check following routine uncomplicated phacoemulsification is necessary in patients with pre-existing glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT), if acetazolamide prophylaxis is used. To investigate the practice of UK glaucoma specialists in IOP rise prophylaxis and follow-up regimes.Patients and methods The IOP 1-day postoperatively was analysed against the last recorded IOP before phacoemulsification in a cohort of patients with glauc… Show more

“…Gupta et al who studied IOP spikes present in patients with glaucoma after an uncomplicated cataract study stated that an IOP spike greater than 30 mmHg could not be eliminated with prophylactic acetazolamide 250mg. They also recommended evaluating patients on POD1 to receive treatment for an IOP spike, should the patient experience it [ 15 ]. Given that our patients with glaucoma were more likely to receive IOP lowering interventions, our surgeons likely had a lower threshold for treating IOP spikes in patients with glaucoma.…”

“…These patients are scheduled in the surgeon's clinic on the same day as their surgery for transportation and convenience of time. Many clinician-scientists have debated the safety and efficacy of post-op day one (POD1) visits [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Few have compared POD0 visits with POD1 visits [6,10,12].…”

“…With increasing pressure on the health care system and increasing workloads of health care professionals, a reasonable balance of frequency of postoperative review needs to be achieved. 25 The number and timepoints of postoperative follow-ups should be devised so that the number of examinations are low and the chance of early intervention in case of serious complications is high.…”

“…В 2005 году в ФГБНУ «НИИ глазных болезней» был разработан уникальный скрининговый метод определения индивидуальной нормы ВГД [30][31][32][33], который уже доказал свою эффективность при ранней диагностике глаукомы, а также при лечении и мониторинге заболевания, но в литературе нет исследований о прогностическом значении показателя индивидуальной нормы в хирургии катаракты [26,27,34].…”
