The Influence of Silicone Oil on Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness After Pars Plana Vitrectomy
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Optical coherence tomography and Local medical treatment of raised intraocular pressure for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of silicone oil on thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients following pars plana vitrectomy.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Optical coherence tomography will be performed in all study patients following pars plans vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade. A fellow eye of each patient will serve as a control. Each patient enrolled in a study will receive 4 measurements: 1. On 7th postoperative day 2. On 30th postoperative day 3. On 90th postoperative day 4. On 180th postoperative day
In patients with raised intraocular pressure following medications will be employed in order to control the intraocular pressure: Cosopt (dorzolamide hydrochloride-timolol maleate ophthalmic solution; b.i.d.) Ganfort (Bimatoprost, timolol maleate ophthalmic solution; once daily) Alphagan (Brimonidine ophthalmic solution; b.i.d.) In patients with intraocular pressure less than 27 mmHg Alphagan will be prescribed. In patients with intraocular pressure greater than 27 mmHg either Cosopt, or Ganfort will be prescribed under the discretion of treating physician. If intraocular pressure in patients treated with either Cosopt or Ganfort does not drop under 21 mmHg, Alphagan will be added.
