Abstract:
PURPOSE:To evaluate the prophylactic effect of levobunolol 0.5%, timolol 0.5%, or vehicle in reducing the incidence of postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes of 5 and 10 mm Hg or more in patients having neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy. SETTING:Miami Vision Center, Coral Gables, Florida; Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas; Cincinnati Eye Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio; South Texas Cataract and Glaucoma Center, San Antonio, Texas; Mid-South Eye Foundation, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. METHODS:This prospective, double-masked, randomized study comprised 144 patients having Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy in one eye. One drop of the test medication was administered preoperatively and one drop on the evening after surgery; IOP was measured preoperatively and 1,2,3 and 24 hours postoperatively. RESULTS:Intraocular pressure elevations of 5 mm Hg or more were seen in 1 of 60 patients (2%) in the levobunolol group, 4 of 54 (7%) in the timolol group, and 10 of 28 (36%) in the vehicle group. These elevations occurred significantly more frequently in the vehicle group than in the levobunolol (P < .001) or timolol (P < .004) groups. Elevations of 10 mm Hg or more were found in 2 of 28 patients (7%) treated with vehicle but were not observed in the patients treated with levobunolol or timolol. CONCLUSIONS:Levobunolol 0.5% or timolol 0.5% administered preoperatively and again in the evening after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy effectively blunted the IOP rise that frequently follows laser surgery.
