Cataract Surgery In Patients With Advanced Age

Completed

• Conditions: Cataract Senile
• Interventions: Procedure: Cataract Surgery

• Registration Number: NCT04140383
• Lead Sponsor: Sakarya University

Brief Summary

This study evaluates and compares clinical outcomes of \< 85 and ≥ 85 year old patients who underwent cataract surgeries.

Detailed Description

The medical records of patients who were underwent cataract surgery between January 2014 and October 2017 were investigated retrospectively and patients 65 years and older were recruited. Two groups were made according to age: group1 composed of patients age range between 65 and 85 years and group 2 composed of patients 85 years and older. Gender, presence of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), drug use were noted.

The results of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) converted to LogMar, intraocular pressure (IOP) before and 3 months after operation, biomicroscopic and fundus examinations were investigated.

Additional ocular diseases such as glaucoma, age related macular degeneration (AMD), pseudoexfoliation syndrome, retinopathies and maculopathies related to systemic diseases were noted. Pupil dilation properties were also noted as poor, mid or full pupil dilation.

Cataract surgery techniques such as phacoemulsification, extra- and intracapsular lens extractions, peroperative complications, intracameral drug use were investigated.

these aforementioned outcomes evaluated and compared between groups.
