| Abstract |
|
The steroids used in the field of ophthalmology have several side effects, including elevation of intraocular pressure. Steroids are used in children after squint operation to reduce inflammation, however, research on intraocular pressure elevation in children is not well known. It is known that antiinflammatory effect is well shown and there is a little effect in terms of intraocular pressure change in the use of fluorometholone. We measured the intraocular pressure change on postoperative 1 day, 1 week, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, and 8 weeks after strabismus surgery to note the effects of 0.1% fluorometholone on ocular hypertension. We also analyzed ocular hypertensive response according to age and surgical method used. We found no statistically significant relationship between intraocular pressure rise and age and surgical method. We found that 0.1% fluorometholone had no significant influence on intraocular pressure rise after strabismus surgery. |
