Early progression of non-center diabetic macular edema after phacoemulsification

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with diabetes who have Grade I–II nuclear cataract and non-center-involving diabetic macular edema will be followed before and after phacoemulsification using color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Imaging will be performed preoperatively and at defined early postoperative visits to document any change in retinal thickness or leakage. Patients with severe non-proliferative or proliferative diabetic retinopathy, traumatic or mature cataract, marked asymmetry between eyes, planned combined glaucoma surgery, or surgical complications are excluded. The single-center observational design at Ain Shams University will describe the frequency and timing of early postoperative progression of NCIDME.
