Evaluation of macular and peri-papillary blood vessel density following uncomplicated phacoemulsification in diabetics using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the macular and peri-papillary blood vessel density following uncomplicated phacoemulsification in diabetics using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).

Methods: An observational case-control study was conducted on 60 patients eligible for phacoemulsification, divided equally into diabetic and control groups. Both study groups were matching in sex, age, and axial length.
