Comparison of corneal edema caused by cataract surgery with different phaco times in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
Corneal thickness changes caused by phacoemulsification times were compared in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Corneal thicknesses were greater in the first postoperative week both in diabetic and non-diabetic patients than in later follow-up. Later corneal thicknesses were not different according to phacotimes or diabetic status. In terms of corneal thickness changes, uncomplicated phacoemulsification is safe in diabetics and non-diabetics.
