Özet
Objectives: To examine the late period retinal and choroidal alterations in the posterior pole of eyes that underwent primary suturing due to traumatic corneal perforation. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional case series included 21 eyes of 21 patients. The fellow eyes served as the control group. Macular thickness, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, choroidal thickness, and retinal vessel caliber measurements were performed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Results: The mean RNFL thickness was 102.1±10.9 μm in the perforated eyes and 99.5±8.5 μm in the fellow eyes (p=0.29). The mean central macular thickness was 300.1±25.6 μm in the perforated eyes and 295.6±23.2 μm in the fellow eyes (p=0.62). The choroidal thickness and retinal vascular calibre measurements were also similar between the groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Operated traumatic corneal perforations do not cause significant posterior pole retinal and choroidal SD-OCT thickness changes in the late postoperative period.
