AB  - AIM: To evaluate the effect of femtosecond laser-assisted lens surgery (FLALS; 
      cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange) on the structure of the optic nerve 
      head and the macula. METHODS: This prospective longitudinal study included 
      healthy eyes undergoing FLALS. Eyes with glaucoma or any other ocular disease 
      that could alter optical coherence tomography results were excluded. Retinal 
      nerve fiber layer (RNFL), Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) 
      and macular thickness (MT) were measured preoperatively, 1 and 6mo after surgery 
      using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Changes between 
      preoperative and postoperative values were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 87 eyes 
      of 46 patients were included in this study. Preoperative RNFL, BMO-MRW and MT in 
      microns (microm) were 100.77+/-10.39, 330.31+/-49.99 and 276.30+/-33.39, respectively. 
      Postoperative RNFL, BMO-MRW and MT were 104.74+/-11.55, 348.32+/-54.05 and 
      279.83+/-22.65 1mo after surgery and 102.93+/-11.17, 343.11+/-53.4 and 278.90+/-22.19 6mo 
      after surgery, respectively; which equals an increase of 3.93%, 5.45% and 1.27%, 
      respectively, 1mo after surgery, and 2.14%, 3.87% and 0.94% 6mo after surgery. 
      The differences between the preoperative and the postoperative RNFL and BMO-MRW 
      values were statistically significant (P<0.001). Regarding MT values, there were 
      not statistically significant differences (P=0.26). CONCLUSION: Our study 
      suggests that FLALS does not have a negative impact on the structural status of 
      the optic nerve head in healthy eyes, assessed by SD-OCT. There is a slight 
      increase in the values of RNFL, BMO-MRW and MT 1mo and 6mo after surgery.
