Comparative Analysis of Macular Thickness Using Optical Coherence Tomography in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients after Cataract Surgery
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is chronic metabolic disorder which is globally prevalent and fast growing disorder, commonly leads to complications like ? neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, keratopathy, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetic foot. Methods: The study was conducted on 100 patients which were equally divided into Group I consisting of 50 diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy and macular edema and Group II consisting of 50 non - diabetic patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery with PCIOL implantation in Department of Ophthalmology, Rama Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Hapur. In all study patients CMT using Nidek ? Retina Scan Duo RS - 330 (SD - OCT) OCT and best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was recorded preoperatively and postoperatively on 1st month to see changes in macular thickness. Conclusion: The Central Macular thickness and the visual Outcomes in diabetic patients without retinopathy and macular edema undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens were statistically significant at postoperative 1 month as compared to the non - diabetic patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens. Therefore, the short-term post cataract surgery increase in Central Macular Thickness (CMT) and visual recovery in diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy and macular edema is different than the non - diabetic groups.
