Abstract
In retinal nerve fiber layer analysis, RNFL thickness measurement is graphed in a TSNIT orientation and compared to age matched normative data. Decreased RNFL thickness represents glaucoma. To assess the macular thickness before and after phacoemulsification cataract surgery. To assess the effect of media opacity like cataract on OCT measurements. A hospital based Prospective, Single Centre study was carried out Patients attending the Ophthalmology OPD who gave a written informed consent to be a part of this study at tertiary care Centre. The study was conducted from August 2022‐2023. The mean age at presentation was 59.50 ±7.81 years. 89 (44.5%) are females and 111(55.5%) are male. 14 (7%) were having cortical cataract, 47 (23.5%) nuclear cataract only, 23 (11.5%) had posterior sub capsular cataract only and 116 (58%) of the eyes had both nuclear and posterior sub capsular cataract together. Mean central macular thickness increased from 234.71±16.35μm to 238.79±15.70μm. The presence of lenticular opacity significantly affects macular thickness using Cirrus OCT. Macular thickness can be expected after cataract surgery and we recommend obtaining fresh OCT images after cataract surgery.
