Description
Summary:AIM: To explore the effects and reliability of macular grid photocoagulation before cataract surgery for diabetes patients with diffuse macular edema.<p>METHODS: A total of 30 patients(40 eyes)were enrolled in the study. All the patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A: 20 eyes were treated with macular grid photocoagulation before cataract surgery; group B: 20 eyes were treated with cataract surgery only. <p>RESULTS: The patients treated with macular grid photocoagulation before cataract surgery. Postoperative visual acuity was improved, the edema of macular decreased. The patients treated with cataract surgery only, visual acuity showed no evident change and macular edema remained stable or creased. <p>CONCLUSION: Macular grid photocoagulation before cataract surgery for diabetes patients can improve the outcome and vision of the patients.
