Brief Summary
Corrective eye surgeries, such as Lasik, are widely used to correct focusing problems such as myopia, or nearsightedness. Often these patients develop other conditions like myopic maculopathy or glaucoma which require monitoring with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Since OCT is a light-based test and changes the refractive status of the eye (in the cornea or the lens), it can potentially affect the results of the OCT measurements but has not been sufficiently studied. This pilot study aims at studying the potential change in OCT parameters in the eye after undergoing such surgery.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients undergoing refractive surgery 2. For patients undergoing bilateral eye surgery, the one with higher degree of ametropia will be included. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Astigmatism more than 3 Diopters 2. Visual acuity worse than 20/25 3. Patients with unstable visual fixation 4. Severe Dry Eye
