Purpose: Phacoemulsification is the most common treatment method for cataract surgery. Cataract is responsible for 48% of worldwide blindness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the affect of Phacoemulsification cataract surgery in choroid thickness (CT).

Fifty-four eyes and 54 adult patients who were scheduled for phacoemulsification cataract surgery were consecutively enrolled. Patients had not undergone previous ocular surgery and had no other ocular abnormality and systemic diseases. CT was measured preoperatively and postoperatively at first day, 10 day, and 30 day via spectral domain optical cohorence tomography (Spectralis®, Heidelberg engineering, Heidelberg, Germany). Varyans analysis (repead measured ANOVA) was used in repeated measures. Bonferroni confidence intervals applied for binary comparisons. Two samples Hoteling test was used comparing age, gender parameters with mean CT changes. P
