Dry eye symptoms can often be observed following vitreo-retinal operations, however, little is known about the frequency and severity of these postoperative problems.
Examination of 140 patients following vitreo-retinal surgery ( n=31), brachytherapy ( n=76), proton beam radiation ( n=33) and controls ( n=54) using a questionnaire together with a clinical examination of the anterior segment, tear break-up time and a Schirmer test.
Of the treated patients 63% complained of dry eye symptoms versus 40% of the controls ( p=0.004). The tear break-up time was decreased in treated patients ( p<0.001, medians: 15 vs. 20 s). No significant difference was seen on the Schirmer test ( p=0.825; medians: 12 vs. 12 mm).
Dry eye symptoms are a common postoperative complication following vitreo-retinal surgery and ocular tumour therapy.
玻璃体视网膜手术后常可观察到干眼症状,然而,对于这些术后问题的发生率和严重程度知之甚少。
采用问卷以及眼前节临床检查、泪膜破裂时间和泪液分泌试验,对140例接受玻璃体视网膜手术(n = 31)、近距离放射治疗(n = 76)、质子束放疗(n = 33)的患者及对照组(n = 54)进行检查。
治疗组患者中有63%主诉有干眼症状,而对照组为40%(p = 0.004)。治疗组患者的泪膜破裂时间缩短(p < 0.001,中位数:15秒对20秒)。泪液分泌试验未见显著差异(p = 0.825;中位数:12毫米对12毫米)。
干眼症状是玻璃体视网膜手术和眼部肿瘤治疗后常见的术后并发症。
