Changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in chronic glaucoma and non-glaucoma patients after phacoemulsification cataract surgery

Changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in chronic glaucoma and non-glaucoma patients after phacoemulsification cataract surgery

Background: Phacoemulsification is a common cataract operation nowadays. During phacoemulsification, variation in intraocular pressure (IOP) may occur, which might change the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness.
