Official Title: To Study the Effects of Refractive Surgery on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Measurements in the Eye: A Pilot Study

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…
