It was aimed to evaluate and investigate the effects of tamsulosin hydrochloride, has preferential selectivity for the α1A receptor in the prostat versus the α1B receptor in the blood vessels, and alfuzosin hydrochloride on choroidal thickness (CT), pupil diameter sizes evaluated by using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and scheimpflug/placido photography-based topoghraphy system in this study. 63 men patients with newly diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia were randomly assigned to either alfuzosin hydrochloride or to tamsulosin hydrochloride groups in this prospective, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial. Enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, pupillography were obtained at baseline, 1st and 3rd month, and choroidal thicknesses and pupil diameter sizes were compared between the 2 groups.
