Abstract

METHODS AND MATERIALS:A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED ,
PATIENTS OPERATED FOR TRABECULECTOMY WERE ENROLLED FROM 2020-21.
.CREATION OF FORMAT AND RETRIEVAL OF DATA FROM EMR AND ANALYSED WITH
SPSS 22. DESCRIPTIVE AND CROSS TABULATION USED FOR ANALYSES.P<0.05
CONSIDERED STASTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.
RESULTS:OUR COHORT CONSISTED OF 80 PATIENTS.CMT AND IOP WAS DOCUMENTED
BEFORE AND AFTER TRABECULECTOMY AT MEAN INTERVAL OF 36 DAYS DURATION.
MEAN MACULAR THICKNESS INCREASED FROM 246.4 TO 248.2 MICROMETER (P=0.01)
AND CORRELATED POSITIVELY WITH IOP REDUCTION FROM 29.77 TO 13.22(P=0.02)
CONCLUSION:SLIGHT INCREASE IN MACULAR THICKENING WAS OBSERVED AFTER
TRABECULECTOMY.IT MAY BE DUE TO REDUCTION IN INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE
AFTER SURGERY AS IT LEADS TO INCREASE IN GRADIENT OF
CAPILLARY INTERCELLULAR PRESSURE LEADING TO ENHANCED FILTERATION AND
FLUID ACCUMULATION IN INTERCELLULAR RETINALSPACE.
