Purpose:
|
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ocular hypertensive effect of the most used corticosteroid drops after keratorefractive surgery.
|
|
Methods:
|
In this double blind clinical intervention 150 patients were randomly grouped in 3 category based on using one of the 3 drops : Betamethasone 0.1%, Fluorometholone 0.1% and Loteprednol Etabonate 0.5% after performing myopic keratorefractive surgery. intraocular pressure checked 2,4 and 6 weeks post surgery.
|
|
Results:
|
Loteprednol and Fluorometholone were associated with the most and least increase in intraocular pressure respectively that was not statistically significant(p>0.05). The highest increase in intraocular pressure was detected 4 weeks after surgery in Betamethasone and loteprednol group and 6 weeks in Flourometolone group ,again it was not significant(p>0.05).
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Although statistically insignificant ,Loteprednol Etabonate was associated with the most increase in intraocular pressure and it was more apparent 4 weeks after surgery.
