ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This purpose of this report was to study trends in cataract and refractive surgeries conducted during the past twelve years and to compare results to previous reports from the ASCRS and New Zealand (NZ) in order to forecast future medical services. METHODS: We surveyed members of the Korean Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (KSCRS) every year from 1995 to 2006, and studied changes in cataract and refractive surgeries (RS). RESULTS: The duration of hospitalization has been gradually decreasing to the point that a one day hospitalization following surgery has become common. The rate of topical anesthesia use has significantly increased since 1998. Sutureless incision methods are now commonly practiced. The use of acryl IOL as an optic material has been gradually increasing for cataract surgeries. KSCRS members showed an interest in the special intraocular lenses as multifocal IOL. While Excimer laser PRK was the most popular refractive surgery during the first stage, KSCRS members increasingly prefer LASIK to the Excimer laser PRK. Regression of the corrected visual acuity, dry eye, night halo, and flashes were the most common complications following refractive surgeries. Medical disputes related to PRK and LASIK have been gradually increasing throughout the study period. CONCLUSIONS: We confirm that the KSCRS practice styles for cataract and RS are similar to those of the ASCRS and NZ. We infer a world-wide trend from the comparison of these three societies.

ABSTRACT

La cirugía refractiva en Chile se realiza en su mayoría con Lasik, debido a sus claras ventajas y buenos resultados en general. Sin embargo, es necesario individualizar el pronóstico para paciente y situación refractiva, ello identificando los factores para un peor resultado. Material y método: se analizaron 114 ojos miopes sin patología, con/sin astigmatismo a Lasik desde junio de 1998 a octubre de 1999. Consignando refracción manifiesta, Av pre y postquirúrgica. Se realizó análisis global y por subgrupos de edad (< 30, 30-40,>40 años), equivalente esférico prequirúrgico (<-6,-6 a -10,>-10 D) y cilindro astigmático prequirúrgico (< -3 y >-3 D). Resultados globales: Edad: 34,8ñ8,3 años [21-50]; Seguimiento: 3,57ñ3,3 meses [0,2-15], Equivalente esférico: -5,86ñ3,2 D [-15,5 a -1,25] prequirúrgico, -0,05ñ0,7 D [-2 a + 2,3] postquirúrgico; Cilindro: -1,69ñ2,06 D [-6,5 a 0] prequirúrgico, 0,29ñ0,72 D [-2,5 a + 2] postquirúrgico. Índice de Seguridad 1.076, Eficacia 85,5 por ciento (97 ojos), Predictibilidad equivalente esférico 86,6 por ciento (97 ojosñ 1 D), Predictibilida correción cilíndrica 89,4 por ciento (101 ojos,ñ 1 D). Resultados: por grupos: Edad: no hay diferencias; Equivalente esférico prequirúrgico: no hay diferencias en seguridad (p=0,35) ni eficacia, hay menor predictibilidad a mayor equivalente esférico (p=0,021); Cilindro prequirúrgico: no hay diferencia en seguridad (p=0,77) ni eficacia (p=0,66), hay menor predictibilidad a mayor cilindro (p=0,013). Interación cilindro-esfera: a mayor cilindro prequirúrgico mayor positividad de esfera postquirúrgica (cil.< 3 D, esf. +0,058; cil> 3 D, esf. +0,26). Conclusión: Seguridad eficacia y predictibilidad son exelentes, siendo independientes de la edad. A mayor equivalente esférico y cilindro prequirúrgico: la AV es menor, pero con igual eficacia del procedimiento, la seguridad es igual y hay menor predictibilidad
