Abstract

Purpose The effect of body mass index (BMI) and central fat distribution (CFD) reduction after bariatric surgery on ocular refraction is not well established. We assessed association between anthropometric parameters and refraction errors with other ocular and metabolic parameters 1 year after the surgery.
