BACKGROUND: To investigate the need for closer perioperative monitoring of @entity6 in @entity1 with @entity164 2 @entity6 undergoing bariatric surgery. METHODS: Prospective observational clinical study of 56 @entity1 with @entity164 2 @entity6 undergoing bariatric surgery. The @entity1 were examined with 7-field fundus images and optical coherence tomography scans 2  weeks before and 1, 3, 6 and 12  months after bariatric surgery. Worsening was defined as a two-step change in the Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of @entity6 scale or appearance or worsening of @entity1103 . Postoperative changes were analyzed in a mixed model. RESULTS: Six @entity1 (11  %) had any worsening at any visit, and three (5  %) persisted at 1  year. Of the 24 @entity1 with preoperative @entity989 , 4-13  % worsened and 9-22  % improved, with significant overall improvement at 6  months (p   =   0.01). Only one (3%) of the 32 @entity1 without preoperative @entity6 had a transient worsening at 6  months. No @entity1 developed @entity1103 , but the whole cohort had a minor increase in center point foveal thickness that peaked 6  months postoperatively. The @entity1 were required to have good @entity413 control preoperatively where HbA1c was 6.4        1.9  %. CONCLUSIONS: @entity6 was clinically stable after bariatric surgery, and none of the observed changes would have resulted in a changed screening interval at our center. This supports adherence to regular @entity6 screening guidelines following bariatric surgery in well-controlled @entity1 . A clinically negligible but statistically significant foveal thickening 6  months postoperatively warrants further study.
