Abstract

Aim: To find out adrenaline effect and impact of surgery after SICS and Phacoemulsification.

Methods: Prospective study done in a tertiary institution. Control group includes 30 eyes each, 22 and 15 eyes in study group. During intraoperative miosis, 0.2 ml intracameral adrenaline injected. CMT measured on 1st postop day and 6 weeks.

Results: In SICS and Phaco control group, 1st post-op day and at 6 weeks, the mean (±SD) CMT of 235.7(±38.2) and 236.5 (±37.5) microns, and 232(±38.23) and 236(±37.53) microns found respectively. First post-op day and at 6 weeks, strong positive correlation (r=0.91, 0.96) and (r=0.92, 0.95) found in both the groups respectively. Paired t-test showed no statical significant difference in both the groups (within and between) and both techniques on postop 1st day and at 6 weeks.

Conclusion: Our study revealed no statistical difference either on CMT or on the impact of surgical types. Hence we recommend safer use of adrenaline during intraoperative miosis.
