This study aims to evaluate the progression of non-center-involving diabetic macular edema in the early postoperative period following phacoemulsification.
Diabetic patients have been reported to have a higher prevalence of cataract and develop it at an earlier age compared with nondiabetic individuals.
According to recent population-based studies, diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of vision loss, with the incidence of non-center-involving DME (NCIDME) being higher than that of center-involving DME (CIDME). The prevalence of NCIDME in an urban south Indian population is 10.8%.
