Abstract:
AIM: To study whether there was a correlation between central foveal thickness (CFT) assessed with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual acuity of patient with high myopia after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.METHODS: Totally 67 patients with high myopia underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation were enrolled in the study.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was recorded and CFT was measured using OCT at 1wk,1 and 3mo after oerations.BCVA and CFT were compared before and after the operation.All patents were divided into two groups by the BCVA at 3mo after operation,BCVA>0.5 in Group A and BCVA≤0.5 in Group B.ANOVA,Spearman correlation analysis and independent t test were used for statistical analysis.RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between preoperative BCVA and postoperative BCVA (F=115.04,P<0.01).Preoperative CFT was different compared with that 1wk and 1mo after operation (P=0.04,0.02) and was not different with that 3mo after operation(P=0.52).There was a statistically significant difference in CFT of postoperative 3-month compared with that of postoperative 1-week(P<0.01) or that of postoperative 1-month (P<0.01).BCVA showed significant positive correlation with CFT without foveal lesion on postoperative 3mo (r=0.28,P=0.03).CFT of Group A and Group B was significantly different at 3mo after the operation (t=-2.24,P=0.03).There was no significant difference in age and intraocular lens of two groups.CONCLUSION: Optical coherence tomography allow for objective assessment of retinal construction changes in eyes with high myopia are correlated to visual acuity.
