Análise tomográfica da mácula de pacientes obesos com Diabete Melito Tipo II submetidos à derivação gástrica "Y de Roux"

Abstract

Objective: To compare, using the OCT, the macula of obese and diabetic patients before and after Bariatric Surgery in subjects aged between 30 and 58 years in a row at Central Metabolic Obesity HSL/PUCRS, Diagnostic Center and Procedures in Ophthalmology and Ophthalmology Service of HSL/PUCRS. Methods: We analyzed the macular thickness of patients before (pCB) and after (poCB) Bariatric Surgery with OptoVue Optical Coherence Tomograph. Best Corrected Visual Acuity was measured before and after CB and analyze variations according to the gender and age of the patients. Results: On 36 patients ' eyes, the average thickness before surgery was 310.9 μm for OD and 326.4 μm for OE. After surgery was 243.4 μm and 218.5 μm, respectively. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) of both eyes of the patients improved four lines in one patient, three lines in one patient, two lines in one patient and a line in two patients. The remaining thirteen patients retained the same visual acuity of both eyes; Conclusion: In view of the results show a tendency of reduction of macular thickness of these obese patients and diabetics type II, it is necessary to expand the number of patients analyzed to have greater statistical analysis with validation for diabetic and obese population who undergo bariatric surgery.
