Özet
Objective: Evaluation of the effects of intraocular pressure (IOP) changes on the eye speculum (blepharosta) in bilateral injections of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) and aflibercept (IVA). Methods: Patients with diabetic retinopathy and macular edema attented to the IVR and IVA were included in the study. Patients with ocular surgery or drug use history were not included. The intraocular pressure was measured by contact hand tonometry. IOP was measured before insertion of the blepharosta (OBIOP, CBIOP), after attachment (OAIOP, CAIOP) and after injection(OIIOP, CIIOP). Results: In the IVR group, 17 males and 19 females, mean age was 67.0 +/- 8.5 years, 18 males and 18 females in the IVA group had a mean age of 64.90 +/- 6.32 years.(p = 0.12) There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of values of OBIOP, OAIOP, OIIOP, CBIOP (p values 0.38, 0.86, 0.86, 0.054 respectively). The values of CAIOP and CIIOP were statistically significantly lower in the IVA group (pvalues 0.037, 0.001 respectively). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of OBIOP-OAIOP, OBIOP-OIIOP, OAIOP-OIIOP and CBIOP-CBIOP difference values (p values 0.21,0.68,0.82,0.32 respectively). The values of CBIOP-CIIOP and CAIOP-CIIOP difference were statistically significant (respectively p values of 0.004, 0.008). Conclusion: In the IVA group, the use of closed blepharosta allows less IOP exchange.
