Summary

This study aims to evaluate the progression of non-center-involving diabetic macular edema in the early postoperative period following phacoemulsification.

Detailed description

Diabetic patients have been reported to have a higher prevalence of cataract and develop it at an earlier age compared with nondiabetic individuals. According to recent population-based studies, diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of vision loss, with the incidence of non-center-involving DME (NCIDME) being higher than that of center-involving DME (CIDME). The prevalence of NCIDME in an urban south Indian population is 10.8%.

Conditions

• Non-Center
• Diabetic Macular Edema
• Phacoemulsification

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Coloured photography	Coloured photography will be performed preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
OTHER	Fluorescein angiography	Fluorescein angiography will be performed preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. The following features will be recorded on each angiography:
OTHER	Optical coherence tomography	Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning will be performed using the optical coherence tomography scanner OCT (OPTOVUE OCT). OCT will be performed preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
