Background: Effect of these procedures on the intra-ocular pressure has not received much attention,
so it shall be the endeavour of this study to see how different steps in the surgical procedure for retinal
detachment surgery influence the intraocular pressure both on the table and in the immediate post-operative
period along with changes induced in the anterior segment.
Aim & Objective: We have added an attempt to evaluate the post operative changes in the intra-ocular
pressure and anterior chamber depth was analysed.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in 50 consecutive cases of both phakic and aphakic
retinal detachments, attending the retinal services at Dr VRKWomens Medical College & Tertiary Hospital
during the year June2018 – May 2019.
Results: The preoperative and immediate post operative intra ocular pressure and anterior chamber depth
were measured and serial changes tabulated and analysed.
Conclusion: We conclude that, No significant change in anterior chamber depth and width of the angle of
the anterior chamber is observed.
Keywords: Intraocular pressure, Intraocular surgery, Anterior chamber depth, Retinal detachment surgery.
