However, it is an inflammatory process to the eye and in many cases can lead to worsening of pre-existing retinal diseases such as diabetic macular edema or development of new diseases such as Irvine-Gass syndrome. This inflammatory response is mostly induced by the release of prostaglandins. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of uneventful phacoemulsification on the morphology and thickness of the macula and the choroid. Patients and Methods: In 30 eyes from 30 patients (15 non-diabetic and 15 diabetic), central retinal macular thickness, and subfoveal choroidal thickness, were measured preoperatively and one month and three months after phacoemulsification using optical coherence tomography. Results: In non-diabetic patients, central macular thickness was 202.80±22.39 μm before phaco and...
