Evaluation of ocular pulse amplitude changes after the retinal detachment repair
PURPOSE: The study was conducted to determine the ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) changes, measured with a dynamic contour tonometer (DCT), after surgical retinal detachment repair. METHODS: This was a prospective and comparative study. Thirty patients (30 eyes) who had undergone uncomplicated unilater...

description | PURPOSE: The study was conducted to determine the ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) changes, measured with a dynamic contour tonometer (DCT), after surgical retinal detachment repair. METHODS: This was a prospective and comparative study. Thirty patients (30 eyes) who had undergone uncomplicated unilateral scleral buckling and encircling procedures for quadrant or half-retinal rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were referred for DCT one day before the surgery was performed, on the 1(st), 7(th), and 30(th) postoperative day. Methods of descriptive (arithmetical mean, standard deviation) and analytical statistics (analysis of variance) were used to analyze the data and evaluate the significance of the difference. A value of P less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The data were evaluated for normality with the single-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. RESULTS: OPA values decreased significantly after scleral buckling procedures (p < 0.0001), but regained near to preoperative values one month after the surgery. CONCLUSION: OPA tends to decrease after retinal detachment surgery. Restoring patients’ vision with scleral buckling and encircling procedures gives early changes in blood supply to the choroid and ocular nerve, and since OPA is an indirect parameter of choroidal vascularization, measuring these values can help make an insight into ocular hemodynamics. |
