CHANGES OF PARAFOVEAL RETINAL NERVE FIBER LAYER THICKNESS ANALYZED BY SPECTRAL-DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AFTER PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY

Abstract

Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was reduced in some of the quadrants of the vitrectomized eye during the 6-month postoperative follow-up period. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography can be clinically useful for detection of localized RNFL defects in patients who underwent vitrectomy. Future prospective studies with more patients and longer follow-up duration are required.
