Abstract

AIM: To assess change in the central macular thickness in diabetic subjects following uneventful MSICS, using Optical Coherent Tomography.

Method: A prospective Cohort study done on patients undergone cataract surgery at Dept. of Ophthalmology, VIMSAR, Burla, were evaluated preoperatively for BCVA & OCT Macula, followed up postoperatively on 1st day, 1 week, 4 week, 12 week. Results were recorded, entered in Excel Sheet & analysed with SPSS V 24.

Results: Out of 100 cases examined, 3 (6%) in non diabetic group & 11 (22%) in diabetic group developed increased central macular thickness, mean change in CMT was 16.12µm in non diabetic group & 23.51 µm in diabetic group.

Conclusion: The post manual small incision cataract surgery increase in central macular thickness is greater in diabetic subjects than the non diabetic & along with visual outcome depend significantly on diabetic status
