Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare central macular thickness using spectral domain OCT in patients undergoing small incision cataract surgery and phacoemulsification.
Materials and Methods: This prospective, comparative and observational study was conducted on 120 cataract patients. They were equally divided into Group 1 and Group 2. Group 1 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and Group 2 who underwent MSICS. In both groups macular thickness using OCT was recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 day, 1, 4, 6 weeks. Macular thickness changes were analyzed and compared.
Results: There was an increase in central macular thickness Post cataract surgery which was more (240.07 ± 21.28) in patients who underwent small incision cataract surgery up to 6 weeks as compared to the patients who underwent phacoemulsification was (220.73 ± 12.75) with p value < 0>
Conclusion: Increase in macular thickness remained subclinical and there was no significant association with the age, gender and pre-operative central macular thickness.
Keywords: Cystoid macular edema, phacoemulsification, MSICS.
