OBJECTIVE To use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess changes in foveal thickness after uneventful phacoemulsification in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG), or primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS Department of Ophthalmology, University of Kocaeli, Kocaeli, Turkey. METHODS This prospective observational case series comprised 87 eyes (87 patients) that had phacoemulsification. Thirty-three were control eyes with cataract and no ocular disease, 15 eyes had POAG, 22 eyes had PXF, and 17 eyes had PXG. Foveal thickness was measured by OCT preoperatively and 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks postoperatively. Intraocular pressure was recorded preoperatively and 8 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS In all groups, the mean foveal thickness was statistically significantly greater at all postoperative visits than preoperatively. The mean change in foveal thickness was higher in the POAG group than in the PXF and control groups at 2 and 8 weeks. The mean increase in foveal thickness was greater in the PXG group than in the control group and the PXF group at 2 and 4 weeks. Three patients (1 patient in each group except PXF) developed clinically significant cystoid macular edema (CME); the incidence of CME was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Foveal thickness measured by OCT increased in patients with POAG and PXG and was higher than in the control group and the PXF group after uneventful phacoemulsification.

D008269 Macular Edema Fluid accumulation in the outer layer of the MACULA LUTEA that results from intraocular or systemic insults. It may develop in a diffuse pattern where the macula appears thickened or it may acquire the characteristic petaloid appearance referred to as cystoid macular edema. Although macular edema may be associated with various underlying conditions, it is most commonly seen following intraocular surgery, venous occlusive disease, DIABETIC RETINOPATHY, and posterior segment inflammatory disease.

D005584 Fovea Centralis An area approximately 1.5 millimeters in diameter within the macula lutea where the retina thins out greatly because of the oblique shifting of all layers except the pigment epithelium layer. It includes the sloping walls of the fovea (clivus) and contains a few rods in its periphery. In its center (foveola) are the cones most adapted to yield high visual acuity, each cone being connected to only one ganglion cell. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)
