[Clinical observation and nursing of direct cyclopexy].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the proper nursing methods for patients with direct cyclopexy.


METHODS
Thirty-four patients (34 eyes) undergone direct cycloepxy because of lower intraocular pressure (IOP) caused by traumatic cyclodialysis were given clinical observation and nursing.


RESULTS
Thirty-two of the 34 eyes had normal IOP after 1 week to 6 months after operation. Among those, 5 cases were treated with the secondary surgery or argon laser phacocoagulation. Visual acuity was improved on 21 eyes and unimproved on 13 eyes.


CONCLUSIONS
Direct cyclopexy is an effective treatment for patients with traumatic cyclodialysis. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) before surgery, careful observation of the IOP with correct directions, better psychological nursing and instructions for discharging are the important measures to successful surgery.
