Application of OCT in the early diagnosis of macular micropathology after cataract phacoemulsification
Recent Advances in Ophthalmology(2005)
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the value of OCT in the early diagnosis of macular micropathology with low visual acuity eyes after cataract phacoemulsification.Methods Thirty-one eyes of thirty-one cases with low visual acuity and without complications of ocular anterior segment and optical pathway,which were suspected macular micropathology 3 days after cataract phacoemulsification,were examined with OCT and analysed.Results OCT showed 16 eyes with macular edema and 7 eyes of them combined with epimacular membrane formation,13 eyes with the lamellar macular hole and 2 eyes with retinoschisis.Conclusion The macular micropat-hology was the main factor in infecting visual functions after cataract phacoemulsification.OCT is a new technique of retinal tomography with sensitive resolving power.It is very valuable in the early diagnosis of macular micropathology with low visual acuity,follow-up and futher treatment after cataract phacoemulsification.
