Analysis of Postoperative Macular Edema in Cataract Patients with Diabetes using Optical Coherence Tomography

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence and progression of macular edema (ME) and associated risk factors in diabetic patients. Methods: In a prospective study, 66 eyes were assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and best-corrected visual acuity was checked before operation at one and three months after operation.
