Purpose:
|
This study compares pre and post photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) measures of intraocular pressure (IOP).
|
|
Methods:
|
all myopic PRK candidates were referred for IOP measurement. IOP was measured by noncontact tonometer (NCT) in all myopic cases pre and 3 month after PRK at the same diurnal time. Pachymetry was done for all participants.
|
|
Results:
|
212 participants were evaluated. The IOP was 15.12 ± 1.8 (mean ± SD) before surgery and 12.16 ± 1.9 after surgery (p < 0.0001). The residual corneal depth was significantly determining the IOP result (p < 0.0001).
|
|
Conclusion:
|
IOP is an important indicator of glaucoma. Glaucoma suspects or patient may misdiagnosed due to corneal thinning in post PRK subjects. Specific concern should be considered for IOP measurement in these patients.
