[Effect of squatting on sub-foveal blood flow defect in pseudophakic eyes operated by cerclage].

UNLABELLED
ZIEL: To investigate the relationship between velocity (Velch), blood volume (Volch) and blood flow (Fch), and the mean ocular perfusion pressure (PPm) in the foveal region, and to determine how the regulatory capacity of the choroidal circulation is affected after an encircling buckle procedure.


METHODS
We investigated both pseudophakic eyes of 6 patients (age range 56-79 years) in a masked study. Subjects presenting eye diseases (glaucoma, uveitis, diabetic retinopathy) as well as systemic diseases were excluded from the study. All subjects had in one eye a successful management of retinal detachment with an encircling buckling; the second eye was considered as control. Measurements of Velch, Volch and Fch were obtained by Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) at baseline and during isometric exercise (squatting).


RESULTS
In the operated eyes, Velch and Fch increased significantly (ANOVA, p < 0.05) during the PPm raise, which was not the case for Volch (ANOVA, p > 0.05). In the control eyes, all hemodynamic parameters remained unaffected by the PPm increase (ANOVA, p > 0.05). The response of Velch and Fch was significantly different (ANCOVA, p < 0.002) between operated and control eyes.


CONCLUSION
These results suggest that encircling buckle does affect subfoveal choroidal blood flow regulation, which may explain a possible macular dysfunction in the operated eyes.
