Summary:	<正>Dear Sir,Previous reports have illustrated reversible structural changes in optic disc cupping,the lamina cribrosa,and the retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)following glaucoma surgery[1-3].However,few studies have assessed changes in macular thickness following such intervention.Our aim was to investigate the impact of intraocular pressure(IOP)reduction after glaucoma surgery on total macular thickness
