Role of Optic Nerve Head Characteristics in Predicting Intraocular Pressure Spikes after Cataract Surgery in Highly Myopic Eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To evaluate the characteristics of optic nerve head (ONH) in highly myopic eyes and its role in predicting intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes after cataract surgery.

Methods

Patients who are highly myopic and were scheduled for cataract surgery were enrolled in this prospective case series study. IOP was measured preoperatively and at 1 day and 3 days postoperatively. ONH characteristics including area, tilt ratio, lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness, and depth, and the presence of LC defects were evaluated with enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography. Factors influencing LC defects and early IOP spike were investigated using multivariate stepwise logistic regression.

Results

In total, 200 highly myopic eyes of 200 patients were analyzed: 35.00% had
