Retinal oximetry was performed using the Oxymap T1 before, 1month, and 6months after surgery. Oxymap T1 simultaneously captures monochrome images of the fundus at two different wavelengths of light. Built-in Oxymap Analyzer software measures the oxygen saturation and vessel diameter.Results: Mean arterial oxygen saturation significantly increased from 96.8%±6.2% to 100.2%± 5.8% at 1month and to 99.6%±5.8% at 6months after surgery (P
