Backgrounds/aims To evaluate the effect of uncomplicated cataract phacoemulsification on the measurements of macular and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) in healthy subjects using two spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) instruments—Cirrus OCT (Zeiss) and Spectralis OCT (Heidelber...
