Özet
Purpose: To measure the changes in corneal thickness with wetting solutions used in ophthalmic surgery. Settings. Ege University, School of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Izmir, Turkey. Methods. Thirty-one adult pigmented rabbits that weighed about 2.5 kg each were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. The rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups to receive 3 wetting solutions: Group 1, Ringer's lactate; Group 2, balanced salt solution (BSS(R)); and Group 3, BSS with glutation (BSS Plus(R)). The solutions were dropped on the right cornea of the rabbits at a rate of 6.0 cc in 12 minutes using an intravenous infusion pump. Corneal thickness was measured by ultrasonic pachymetry before and after the procedure, and the between-group changes in corneal thickness were compared. Results: The corneal thickness before and after the procedure was 361.27 mum +/- 19.3 (SD) and 380.00 +/- 25.0 mum, respectively, in Group 1 (P = .000); 372.10 +/- 18.8 mum and 388.60 +/- 24.1 mum, respectively, in Group 2 (P = .003); and 358.10 +/- 26.5 mum and 360.10 +/- 24.1 mum, respectively, in Group 3 (P = .316). Conclusion: As a corneal wetting solution, BSS Plus resulted in significantly fewer changes in corneal thickness than Ringer's lactate or BSS. This should be considered in cases involving long intraocular surgery. J Cataract Refract Surg 2002; 28:149-151 (C) 2002 ASCRS and ESCRS.
