OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the loss of lens transparency incurred by patients undergoing trabeculectomy.
DESIGN: A prospective cohort study.
PARTICIPANTS AND CONTROLS: Data corresponding to 33 eyes of 33 consecutive patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) subjected to trabeculectomy (group 1) were compared with those corresponding to 12 eyes of 12 patients with POAG receiving topical antiglaucomatous treatment (group 2).
INTERVENTION: Lens fluorophotometry was performed on the group 1 patients before and 12 months after surgery. In group 2, fluorophotometry was conducted at the onset of the study and at 12 months of follow-up.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Starting and final lens autofluorescence and transmittance values corresponding to each subject group were compared.
RESULTS: In group 1, starting and final autofluorescence was 556.3 +/- 184.3 and 691.1 +/- 179.3 Eq ng/ml, and starting and final transmittance was 0.78 +/- 0.11 and 0.67 +/- 0.14, respectively. Respective values for group 2 were 574.3 +/- 94.8 and 595.2 +/- 107.0 Eq ng/ml and 0.72 +/- 0.17 and 0.71 +/- 0.16. The mean change between final and initial autofluorescence was statistically different between groups (134.7 +/- 123.7, group 1, 20.9 +/- 25.1 Eq ng/ml, group 2; P < 0.001). Similarly, a significant difference (P < 0.001) in transmittance change was observed between the surgery and control groups (-0.11 +/- 0.072, group 1; 0.02 +/- 0.008, group 2)
CONCLUSIONS: It was demonstrated by lens fluorophotometry that trabeculectomy in POAG leads to a loss in lens transparency.
