Evaluation of Changes in Refractive Errors Before and After Trabeculectomy and Shunt Surgery

The aim of the present study was to investigate the change rate of astigmatism and axial, myopia, and hypermetropia in trabeculectomy and shunt surgery. In this comparative study, two groups of 16 patients with an average age of 52.4±8.9 and 94.6±6.7 respectively underwent trabeculectomy and shunt s...

Description
Summary:The aim of the present study was to investigate the change rate of astigmatism and axial, myopia, and hypermetropia in trabeculectomy and shunt surgery. In this comparative study, two groups of 16 patients with an average age of 52.4±8.9 and 94.6±6.7 respectively underwent trabeculectomy and shunt surgery. The changes of reactive error were compared before the surgery and 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the surgery. Data from the two groups were analyzed via Friedman and Mann-Whitney tests. Average of intraocular pressure (IOP) before, and 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after trabeculectomy is 31.31±7.6, 9.8±2.8, 10.5±1.29, 10.9±1.26 (
