Preoperative anti-inflammatory treatment of diabetic patients does not improve recovery from cataract surgery when postoperatively treated with a combination of prednisolone acetate and nepafenac.

Purpose: To examine preoperative anti-inflammatory treatment on recovery from cataract surgery in eyes of diabetic patients.

Methods: A Prospective randomized clinical trial. One hundred and three eyes of 103 patients with diabetes undergoing routine cataract surgery were randomized (1:1) not to receive any preoperative anti-inflammatory medication or to receive preoperative topical anti-inflammatory medication with a combination of prednisolone acetate (10 mg/ml) and nepafenac (1 mg/ml).

Diabetes Alone Does Not Impair Recovery From Uneventful Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To study the outcomes of uneventful cataract surgery in diabetic patients without retinal complications.

Design: A post hoc treatment analysis using data from 2 double-masked randomized clinical trials.

Methods: Setting: Conducted at Kymenlaakso Central Hospital, Kotka, Finland.

Systemic use of calcium channel blockers associated with less increase in central retinal thickness after uncomplicated cataract surgery.

Purpose: To examine the role of systemic medication on the risk of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) following uneventful cataract surgery.

Methods: A total of 269 eyes undergoing routine cataract surgery. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging was conducted before surgery and at 28 days.
