Abstract:

Cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation is the first choice for the treatment of cataract. In Jin years, with the continuous improvement and maturity of cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens transplantation, the incidence of postoperative complications has gradually decreased. However, the recovery of visual acuity in some patients is still not satisfactory. Domestic and foreign scholars have suggested that this may be associated with abnormal changes in retinal thickness after cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation. The choroid as a highly vascularized tissue provides oxygen and nutrients to the outer retina, especially the nutrition and blood supply of macular region. The thickness of the choroid is thinner or atrophy, which will seriously affect the function of the photoreceptor and even lead to the death of the photoreceptor cells. In recent years, with the emergence and application of enhanced optical coherence tomography technology, it is possible to observe the fine structure of choroid layer and the fixed-point measurement of choroidal thickness. Related studies have shown that changes in choroidal thickness after cataract surgery may be related to inflammatory reaction, gene expression, increase of intraocular light and mechanical traction. In this paper, the changes of choroidal thickness and the influencing factors of cataract phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation were reviewed.

Key words: Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, Optical coherence tomography, Choroid, Thickness change
