ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the changes in posterior segment after uncomplicated cataract surgery in uveitic patients.METHODS:
Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), ganglion cell layer thickness (GCLT), central macular thickness (CMT), and choroidal thickness (CT) of 38 eyes of 28 patients were measured pre- and postoperatively on day 1, week 1, and month 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12.RESULTS:
The RNFLT increased after surgery. Although the measurements taken were higher than the baseline CMT at all postoperative times, no significant difference was detected between the paired comparisons. The GCLT was found to be higher than the baseline value in all quadrants at the 12th month. A decrease in CT was observed at 5 measured points on the 1st day compared to the baseline.CONCLUSION:
During the 1-year follow-up, the effect of cataract surgery on the retina and choroid in uveitic eyes was most evident at the postoperative month 1.Key words
