Abstract

Purpose. To investigate morphological changes of the retina after cataract surgery with the femtosecond laser.

 Material and methods. In the study were included 11 patients (19 eyes) at the age of 62.4 years, which were operated: femtosecond laser cataract surgery. Investigation of the retinal thickness were carried out using optical coherent tomography (OCT), also patients were conducted a survey tagline format.

 Results. The follow-up examination revealed: statistically significant changes in OCT parameters of retina after femtosecond laser cataract removal were not found in any of the observation period; within three months after surgery the clinically significant macular edema has not happened in any case and the significant change in the complex of ganglion cells and retinal nerve fibers in all terms of follow up were not revealed.

 Keywords: cataracts, femtosecond laser, retina.
