Description
Summary:·AIM:To evalaute the effect of fixed-combination latanoprost 0.005%/timolol maleate 0.5% and dorzolamide hydrochloride 2%/timolol maleate 0.5% on postoperative intraocular pressure after phacoemulsification cataract surgery.·METHODS:This study is a prospective,randomized,double-masked and placebo-controlled.The study included 90 eyes of 90 patients which were scheduled to have phacoemulsification surgery.Patients were randomly assigned preoperatively to 1 of 3 groups (30 eyes of 30 patients).Two hour before surgery,the patients received one drop latanoprost/timolol (group 1),dorzolamide/timolol (group 2) and placebo (group 3,control group).The IOPs were measured at preoperative and postoperative 4,8,and 24 hours.·RESULTS:The preoperative mean intraocular pressure was not statistically significant between both drug groups and control group.In group 1 and 2,the postoperative mean IOP [group1:(14.03?à3.15)mmHg and group 2:(14.16?à4.43)mmHg] at 24 hours were significantly lower than the control group [(16.93?à3.70)mmHg,(P <0.05)].In addition,the postoperative mean IOP of group 1 [(14.90±3.69)mmHg] at 8 hours was significantly lower than the control group [(17.70?à3.89)mmHg,(P <0.05)],but there was no significant difference between group 2 [(16.16?à5.23)mmHg] and control group at 8 hours (P >0.05).·CONCLUSION:When compared with placebo,the use of preoperative fixed combination of latanoprost/timolol and dorzolamide/timolol is an effective method for preventing intraocular pressure elevation in 24 hours after phacoemulsification surgery,but did not completely prevent IOP spikes.·
