Article Synopsis
- Doctors studied patients who had cataract surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic to see how well it went and if they were happy afterward.
- Most patients had no problems during surgery, and everyone had good vision after it, with many feeling satisfied a month later.
- This method of doing surgery on both eyes at once is helpful during the pandemic because it means fewer hospital visits, especially for older people and those with other health issues.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the retinal and choroidal structures in r- and nr-axSpA patients using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to compare changes with healthy controls.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 70 axSpA patients (50 radiographic- and 20 nr-axSpA) and 50 healthy control subjects were included. Choroidal thickness (ChT), macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and the ganglion cell complex (GCC) were measured by SD-OCT.
