- Abstract
Objective: To determine the mean change in central macular thickness after cataract surgery and to compare the mean change in central macular thickness after cataract surgery in patients with diabetes and without diabetes. Study Design: Cross sectional comparative study. Place and Duration of Study: Ophthalmology Department, Pakistan Ordinance Factory Hospital, Wah, from Apr to Sep 2019. Methodology: Patients were divided into two groups; Group A (patients with diabetes) and group B (patients without diabetes). All the patients underwent phacoemulsification and observed after 4 weeks for macular thickness measurement using optical coherence tomography before and after surgery. Results: Total 60 patients were included. Mean age of patients was 65.31 ± 7.63 years. There were 35 (58.3%) males and 25 (41.7%) female patients in the study. We found a significant increase in central macular thickness in Group A and Group B [(223.10 ± 15.86 μm vs 227.26 ± 17.90 μm, p<0.001) and (221.20 ± 12.16 μm vs 226.28 ± 16.78 μm, p=0.001)] before and after phacoemulsification in Group A and Group B respectively. However, no significant difference was found between the groups (p=0.486). Conclusion: There is no significant difference in central macular thickness after uncomplicated phacoemulsification in both groups.
