Distinct macular thickness changes after femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery of age-related cataract and myopia with cataract

Abstract Cataract surgery can cause macular thickness change. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess the macular thickness of different regions after femtosecond laser–assisted cataract surgery of age-related cataracts (ARC) and myopia cases with cataract (myopia group). Fifty eyes of...
