목적 : We evaluated changes in ocular axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and intraocular pressure (IOP) after strabismus surgery by comparing the operated and fellow eyes in patients undergoing unilateral strabismus surgery.
방법 : This was a prospective study including patients who underwent unilateral strabismus surgery for exotropia alone or exotropia with unilateral superior oblique palsy. The AL and ACD using IOLMaster biometer and the IOP using non-contact tonometry were measured one day prior to surgery and one week, one month, and three months postoperatively.
결과 : Fourteen female and twenty-two male patients (mean age: 8.2 yr) were included in the study. In the operated eye, the mean AL increased significantly from 23.99 mm preoperatively to 24.08 mm one week postoperatively (p<.001), and although the mean ACD decreased in this time, the decrease was not statistically significant. The mean IOP of the operated eye increased from 17.08 mmHg preoperatively to 20.31 mmHg at one week postoperatively (p=0.01), as did the IOP of the fellow eye (p=0.03). However, the AL and IOP of the operated eyes decreased by one month postoperatively.
결론 : Strabismus surgery caused significant AL elongation in the operated eye and IOP elevation in both the operated and fellow eyes immediately after surgery. However, both ocular changes were transient. The AL, ACD, and IOP did not exhibit any significant differences between operated and fellow eyes three months postoperatively.
