Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund: Pseudophake Dysphotopsien als unerwünschte Begleiterscheinungen nach Kataraktchirurgie gewinnen zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die sogenannte Glare Perimetrie ermöglicht eine realitätsnahe Quantifizierung dieser Phänomene. Der Beitrag stellt die Methode am Beispiel von augengesunden Probanden und pseudophaken Patienten vor.

Patienten und Methoden: Mithilfe der Glare Perimetrie wurden phake und pseudophake Probanden auf Unterschiede in der Blendempfindlichkeit untersucht. Dafür wurden Daten von 60 phaken Personen unterschiedlichen Alters (45 ± 17,1 Jahre) genutzt. Als pseudophake Probanden wurden 31 Monofokallinsen-Träger (70 ± 6,7 Jahre) und 25 Multifokallinsen-Träger (71 ± 8,5 Jahre) getestet.

Ergebnisse: Die Blendempfindlichkeit war in der phaken Gruppe (1,00 ± 0,336°) signifikant kleiner als in der pseudophaken Gruppe (1,56 ± 0,622°). Unter den pseudophaken Augen waren Augen mit einer Multifokallinse (1,69 ± 0,367°) signifikant blendempfindlicher als solche mit einer Monofokallinse (1,43 ± 0,492°).

Schlussfolgerung: Die Glare Perimetrie erlaubt eine objektive Quantifizierung von Dysphotopsieeffekten unter realitätsnahen Bedingungen. Pseudophake Augen zeigen eine höhere Blendempfindlichkeit als Augen mit der natürlichen klaren Linse. Dabei erweisen sich Augen mit Multifokallinsen als besonders empfindlich gegenüber Blendung.

Abstract

Background: Pseudophakic dysphotopsia as unwanted side effect after cataract surgery are becoming increasingly important. The so-called glare perimetry allows a realistic quantification of these phenomena. The article presents the method on the example of healthy subjects and pseudophakic patients.

Patients and Methods: Using glare perimetry phakic and pseudophakic subjects were examined for differences in disability glare. For this, data from 60 phakic persons of different ages (45 ± 17.1 years) were used. As pseudophakic subjects 31 carriers of monofocal lenses (70 ± 6.7 years) and 25 carriers of multifocal lenses (71 ± 8.5 years) were tested.

Results: Disability glare was significantly smaller in the phakic group (1.00 ± 0.336°) than in the pseudophakic group (1.56 ± 0.622°). Among the pseudophakic eyes those with a multifocal lens (1.69 ± 0.367°) were significantly more sensitive to glare than those with a monofocal lens (1.43 ± 0.492°).

Conclusion: Glare perimetry allows an objective quantification of effects of dysphotopsia under realistic conditions. Pseudophakic eyes show a higher sensitivity to glare than eyes with the natural clear lens. Here, eyes with multifocal lenses prove to be particularly sensitive to glare.
