Abstract

Kami telah menjalankan satu kajian ke atas kesan analog Prostaglandin PGF2o. terhadap tekanan intraokular mata pesakit yang menjalani pembedahan katarak. Sebanyak 72 mata pesakit yang menjalani pembedahan katarak menggunakan teknik endocapsular beserta implantasi kanta intra-okular menggunakan bahan viskoelastik, telah dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan secara rawak. Sebanyak 36 mata pesakit di dalam kumpulan latanoprost menerima ubat titis latanoprost 0.005% sebaik selesai pembedahan sementara 36 mata pesakit di dalam kumpulan kontrol menerima ubat titis tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride (optizolin). Aspek-aspek lain rawatan dan pembedahan bagi kedua-dua kumpulan adalah sama. Tekanan intraokular telah diukur sebelum pembedahan (pra-pembedahan) dan 3, 6, 9 dan 24 jam selepas pembedahan. The effect of prostaglandin analogue PGF2a. was tested in immediate post-operative cataract extraction eyes. Seventy-two eyes undergoing endocapsular cataract extraction with capsular bag intraocular lens implantation using viscoelastic substance were randomly assigned into two groups. Thirty-six eyes in latanoprost group received 0.005o/o latanoprost eye drop at the end of the operative procedure while another thirty-six eyes in control group received a topical drop of placebo ( tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride) similarly. In all other respects the eyes were treated identically. Intraocular pressure (lOP) was measured preoperatively and at 3, 6, 9 and 24 hours post-operatively.
