Abstract :

PURPOSE: To study the intraocular pressure changes following clear corneal phacoemulsification (CCP) in superior versus temporal clear corneal incisions. MATERIALS & METHODS: 104 eyes of patients were divided into 2 groups, in which 52 patients underwent superior approach (S) and 52 patients temporal approach (T) clear corneal phacoemulsification surgery. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement was done by Non–contact tonometry on day before the surgery and on days 7,15 & 30 after surgery in both groups. RESULTS: A total of 104 patients were included in this study. The mean IOP before surgery was 2.98±13.34mmHg and 3.71±15.40mmHg in S and T groups respectively. The MD of postoperative IOP on days 7th,15th and 30th is 2.66±13.80mmHg,2.32±12.86mmHg and 2.37±12.47mmHg in S group and 3.31±15.26mmHg,3.44±14.90mmHg and 2.71±13.96mmHg respectively. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our study showed significant reduction of IOP in both the study groups.
