Mean RNFL thickness showed no significant change during follow-up at the first week (102.90± 30.68 mm), 1 month (107.30± 32.27), or three months (105.90± 36.68; p=0.46, 0.68). There were significant correlations noticed between RNFL thinning and axial length of eyes, intraocular pressure, and use of PFCLs during the follow-up period.Conclusion: The RNFL tends to change postvitrectomy, but not significantly. Careful examination and consistent follow-up is required for postvitrectomy patients with larger axial length and intraoperative PFCL use.Keywords: pars plana vitrectomy, PPV, ganglion-cell complex, GCC, retinal nerve–fibre layer, RNFL, perfluorocarbon liquids, PFCL spectral domain optical coherence tomography, SD-OCTMaqsood SAbdou Hannon AElalfy MElborgy ESHegazy SMDove Medical Pressarticlepars plana vitrectomy (ppv)the ganglion cell complex (gcc)the retinal nerve fibre layer (rnfl)perfluorocarbon liquids (pfcls) spectral domain optical coherence tomography (sd-oct)OphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3541-3549 (2020)
