Objective: The evaluation of intraocular pressure (IOP) after vitreoretinal surgery is critical to ensure the normal function of the eye. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidences and risk factors of early postoperative IOP elevation after vitreoretinal surgery. Method: Data were collected and retrospectively analyzed from 150 patients (150 eyes) who received vitreoretinal surgery from March 2012 to December 2012 in Tongji Hospital. IOP was measured before surgery and on day 1, 2, 3, 4-7 after surgery by Goldmann applanation tonometer. Ocular hypertension was defined as IOP ≥ 24 mmHg. The incidences and risk factors were analyzed. Results: 87 of the 150 patients were male and 63 were female. The IOP was elevated significantly in 54 eyes (36.00%) within 1 week after vitreoretinal surgery. Among them, 31 eyes (57.40%) occurred on day 1; 14 eyes (25.93%) occurred on da.. View More»
