ぶどう膜炎の既往のあるらい患者の白内障18例20眼に超音波水晶体乳化吸引術(PEA)を行い,19眼に眼内レンズを挿入した。経過観察期間は6〜18か月(平均12.1か月)であった。術後全例で視力が改善し,0.5以上の症例は16眼(80%)であった。術後視力が0.5未満の4眼は術前よりみられた角膜混濁が,視力不良の主な原因であった。術後,1眼にぶどう膜炎が再燃したが,重篤な合併症はなかった。らいのぶどう膜炎に併発した白内障でも,PEAは有効な術式であると考えられた。
We performed cataract surgery in 20 eyes of 18 leprosy patients with history of uveitis. All the eyes were treated by phacoemulsification-aspiration technique. Intraocular lens was implanted in 19 eyes. Visual acuity improved in all the 20 eyes. Visual acuity of 0.5 or over was obtained in 16 eyes, 80%, after a mean follow-up of 12.1 months. The remaining 4 eyes failed to achieve the visual acuity of 0.5, mainly due to prior corneal opacity. While uveitis recurred in one eye, no serious complications were encountered in the whole series. The findings show that cataract surgery by phacoemulsification is a useful one for eyes with leprous uveitis.
