Evaluation of Macular Changes After Uncomplicated Phacoemulsification Surgery by Optical Coherence Tomography

Abstract

Statistically significant increase in macular thickness was detected at postoperative early periods, after the 1st week after uncomplicated cataract operation. The increase in macular thickness starts from parafoveal regions. Longer follow-up of patients is required for the macular consequences, and different treatment protocols should be studied in a randomized controlled fashion.
