Evaluation of the choroidal thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer and visual fields in morbid obesity: Does bariatric surgery affect retinal structure and function?

Evaluation of the choroidal thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer and visual fields in morbid obesity: Does bariatric surgery affect retinal structure and function?

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the changes in choroidal thickness (CT), retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL), and visual field parameters in morbidly obese patients following bariatric surgery. Methods: The study included 40 morbidly obese patients with body mass indexes (BMI) ≥40 who...
