Abstract:To evaluate the changes in choroidal vascular structures in patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and healthy controls (No-AMD) after phacoemulsification. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in 34 eyes of 19 patients in the AMD group and 32 eyes of 20 patients in the no-AMD group who had uneventful phacoemulsification. Best-corrected visual acuity, slitlamp biomicroscopy, and intraocular pressure were recorded. Choroidal thickness (CT) measurements of the subjects were obtained usi… Show more
