Comparison of Viscoelastic Substance Injection Versus Air Filling in the Anterior Chamber During Foldable Capsular Vitreous Body (FCVB) Implant Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To compare the outcomes of viscoelastic substance injection with air filling in the anterior chamber during foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) implant surgery in patients with severe retinal disease.

Methods

Thirty eyes with severe retinal diseases were randomly divided into two groups. In the viscoelastic group, 0.15-0.2 mL of 1.7% sodium hyaluronate was injected into the anterior chamber after FCVB implantation; in the air group, the anterior chamber was maintained by filling the air after FCVB implant surgery. The eyes of treated patients were examined during a 24-week follow-up appointment. Data, including intraocular pressure (IOP), the difference between preoperative and postoperative IOP, and postoperative complications, were recorded.
