Abstract:
Goal - assessment of Diacarb (Acetazolamide) role in prevention of cataract phacoemulsification complications. Study includes 400 patients, 300 of which comprise the control group while 100 patients were administered one dose of Diacarb orally, one day before the surgery. The patients were observed in the course of surgery, as well as in the post-surgery period. All patients received standard post-surgery treatment. The operations were conducted by one and the same surgeon, using one and the same equipment. Object of observation were such complications as vitreous prolapse, narrowing of anterior chamber, iris prolapse, iris bleeding, intraoperative corestenoma. Rate of complications in the group treated with Diacarb was slightly lower, compared with the control group. Pre-surgical administration of Diacarb slightly reduces the complication risks. More researches are required in this respect.
