摘要
PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between baseline corneal hysteresis (CH) and the change in intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after cataract extraction in patients without glaucoma. SETTING: Private practice, New York City, New York, USA. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: Charts of consecutive patients who had phacoemulsification cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation were analyzed. All included patients had preoperative and postoperative measurements with the Ocular Response Analyzer 2 to 4 months and 10 to 12 months postoperatively. Data collected included age, baseline CH, baseline central corneal thickness (CCT), and IOP. RESULTS: Thirty nine (65 eyes) of the 230 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean patient age was 70.8 years +/- 8.6 (SD). The mean preoperative, 2- to 4-month and 10- to 12-month postoperative lop values were 14.8 +/- 3.5 mm Hg, 11.9 +/- 3.4 mm Hg, and 12.6 +/- 3.1 mm Hg, respectively (P<.05 for comparisons with preoperative IOP). The baseline CH was not predictive of the IOP reduction at 2 to 4 months (beta = -0.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.7 to 0.01; P =.06). However, the baseline CH (but not the baseline CCT) was statistically associated with the magnitude of IOP reduction at 10 to 12 months when controlling for patient age (beta = 0.5; 95% CI, -0.8 to -0.1; P =.01). CONCLUSION: A low baseline CH was associated with a larger magnitude of IOP reduction after cataract extraction.
