Abstract Details

Purpose:

To compare safety and efficacy of intravitreal dexamethasone implant (IVD) with topical nepafenac 0.1% (TN) in previously untreated Irvine-Gass syndrome (IGS) in clinical practice.

Setting:

Trakya University Faculty of Medicine

Methods:

This is a retrospective study of 62 eyes with IGS after phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation (IOL). None of the patients used treatment before IVD or TN. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart(ETDRS), slit-lamp, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, fundus examination, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus florescein angiography were performed to all subjects at baseline,1,3 and 6 month.

Results:

The mean BCVA of the patients was 49.3±6.8 ETDRS letters, the mean BCVA was 32.9±7.3 ETDRS letters in post-treatment month 6 after IVD, and TN respectively. The mean central macular thickness (CRT) was 266.6±53.5 μm in post-treatment month 6 in IVD group and the mean CRT was 364.9±56.3 μm in in post-treatment month 6 in TN group. Baseline BCVA has a positive correlation with the post-treatment BCVA in post-treatment month 6 in TN group. There was no correlation between baseline BCVA and post-treatment BCVA in post-treatment month 6 in IVD group.

Conclusions:

IVD was found to be better than TN in controlling pseudophakic macular edema and improving visual acuity.
