Popis: AIM: To investigate the influence of ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs) and different surgical approaches on the intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after creation of the curvilinear circular capsulorhexis (CCC) as a measure for anterior chamber stability during this maneuver. METHODS: Prospective experimental WetLab study carried out on enucleated porcine eyes. IOP was measured before and after CCC with the iCare Rebound tonometer (iCare ic200; iCare Finland Oy, Vantaa, Finland). The OVDs used were a cohesive one [Z-Hyalin, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Germany; hyaluronic acid (HA)] and a dispersive [Z-Celcoat, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Germany; hydroxy propylmethylcellulosis (HPMC)]. The CCC was created using Utrata forceps or 23 g microforceps in different combinations with the OVDs. RESULTS: Using the Utrata forceps the IOP dropped from 63.65±6.44 to 11.25±3.63 mm Hg during the CCC. The use of different OVDs made no difference. Using the 23 g microforceps the IOP dropped from 65.35±8.15 to 36.55±6.09 mm Hg. The difference between IOP drop using either Utrata forceps or 23 g microforceps was highly significant regardless of the OVD used. CONCLUSION: Using the sideport for the creation of the capsulorhexis leads to a lesser drop in IOP during this maneuver compared to the main incision in enucleated porcine eyes. The use of different OVD has no significant influence on IOP drop.
