摘要

This is a prospective interventional clinical study evaluating intraocular inflammation developed after Ultrasound Cyclo Plasty(UCP) for the treatment of glaucoma. Eighteen eyes of 18 patients were treated with UCP second-generation probes(Eye OP1). After treatment, the mean intraocular pressure(IOP) significantly decreased from 26.8±7.2 to 18.8±6.1 mm Hg at day 1 and to 14.7±3.4 mm Hg at month 6(all P<0.001). Mean laser flare-cell photometry value steeply increased after surgery from 12.1±7.5 to 64.1±53.9 ph/ms(P=0.001) at day 1, and then progressively decreased to respectively 60.6±49.7 at day 7, 43.5±38.5 at day 14 and 28.2±18.3 at month 1(all P<0.05), returning at levels similar to baseline ones at month 3 and month 6(respectively 16.7±6.2 and 12.8±10.2, both P>0.05). A significant negative correlation was found between postoperative increase of aqueous flare values and anterior chamber depth(R=-0.568, P=0.014). This timeframe may be considered reasonable for repeating UCP treatment, when required.
