| Popis: | Purpose To investigate the changes in choroidal thickness (ChT) following panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) for diabetic retinopathy (DR) and compare ChT in relation to DR severity. Methods Thirty-two eyes [19 eyes with proliferative DR (PDR) and 13 eyes with severe nonproliferative DR (NPDR)] for which PRP was necessary were analyzed. ChT was measured before PRP and at 1, 3, and 6 months after PRP using the swept-source optical coherence tomography. ChT of the 61 eyes matched with the PDR patients for the mean age and axial length was also measured and statistically compared in relation to severity. Results The central field ChT before PRP treatment was 268.6 ± 104.5 µm (mean ± standard deviation) and was significantly decreased at 1, 3, and 6 months after PRP (254.5 ± 105.3, 254.2 ± 108.2, and 248.1 ± 101.8 µm, respectively, P |
