Abstract
Background: Uveitis can cause blindness if not be appropriately managed. Anterior segment is common and frequent site in uveitis, can result in different degrees iris posterior synechia, iris depigmentation and atrophy, earlier form of cataract, etc. Surgery of cataract is complicated and prone to inflammatory reaction, especially in patients who involve anterior and posterior segment. Better operation technique and gentle maneuver is very important in such surgery. Aim: To investigate the application of phacoemulsification with IOLs implantation in cataract surgery with posterior synechia of the iris, and analyze its clinical effect. Methods: 36 cases (45 eyes) were enrolled from March 2019 to October 2020, diagnosed with chronic uveitis complicated cataract, treated with phacoemulsification combined with implantation of intraocular lens. Postoperative visual acuity and complications during operation were recorded. Results: Postoperative day 1, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 25 eyes (55.6%) were no less than 0.5, 14 eyes (31.1%) were 0.3~0.5, 6 eyes (13.3%) were 0.1~0.25; Anterior chamber inflammation emerged in 9 eyes (20.0%), more severe and recurrence of iris posterior synechia in 8 eyes (17.8%), pigmentation lost on IOLs in 7 eyes (15.6%). Intraocular pressure (IOP) after operation was 14.35±9.43mmHg (11 eyes were above normal, 6.0~25.0mmHg), no significance difference with preoperation IOP (t=0.25, p=0.80). No infectious endopthalmitis was found. 1 week after operation, the BCVA of 30 eyes (66.7%) were no less than 0.5, 13 eyes (28.9%) were 0.3~0.5, 2 eyes (4.4%) were 0.1~0.25. Anterior chamber inflammation disappeared in all cases, 4 eyes (8.9%) with iris posterior synechia couldn’t be debonded, 3 eyes (6.7%) with iris dystrophy. Average IOP was 11.27±6.81mmHg, no significance difference with preoperation IOP (t=0.46, p=0.65). 1 month after operation, the BCVA of 30 eyes (66.7%) no less than 0.5, 13 eyes (28.9%) were 0.3~0.5, 2 eyes (4.4%) were 0.1~0.25. IOP (10.92±5.94mmHg) was stable, and no significance difference with preoperation IOP (t=0.51, p=0.61). 3 months after operation, the BCVA of 33 eyes (73.3%) were no less than 0.5, 10 eyes (22.2%) were 0.3~0.5, 2 eyes (4.4%) were 0.1~0.25. IOP (11.06±5.71mmHg) was no change as preoperation (t=0.67, p=0.51). 4 (8.9%) and 3 (6.7%) eyes with iris posterior synechia and iris dystrophy respectively. Conclusion: Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantaion may be effective in the cataract surgery with iris posterior synechia, and timely mangement of possible complications after surgery maybe helpful for clinical outcomes.
