Abstract

PURPOSE: NUCLEUS DROP IS A SERIOUS COMPLICATION. WE INVESTIGATED VISUAL OUTCOMES FOLLOWING CORRECTIVE SURGERY AND COMPARED OUTCOMES BETWEEN SURGERIES.
METHOD: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF A COHORT WAS CREATED OF FORMAT AND RETRIEVAL OF DATA FROM EMR AND ANALYSED WITH SPSS 22. DESCRIPTIVE AND CROSS-TABULATION METHODS WERE USED FOR ANALYSES. P VALUE <0.05 CONSIDERED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. COMORBIDITIES MANAGED WITH MEDICAL OR SURGICAL TREATMENT
RESULTS: OUR COHORT HAD 169 EYES OF MEAN AGE 55.36+/-15.7 YEARS. 63.3% MALE,33.7% FEMALE.26% WERE TRAUMATIC ND AND 74% AFTER CATARACT SURGERIES. IN THE TRAINEE GROUP NUCLEUS DROP DURING PHACOEMULSIFICATION WAS 38.56% AND 62.9% AFTER SICS. WE FOUND NO SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT(P=0.122) IN THE VISUAL OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS AFTER SURGICAL MANAGEMENT. WE DID NOT FIND A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE WITH OR WITHOUT A SCLERAL FIXATED LENS.(0.131)

CONCLUSION: VISUAL OUTCOME FOLLOWING CORRECTIVE VITRECTOMY FOR NUCLEUS DROP MAY BE SATISFACTORY.
