Changes in macular thickness post uncomplicated MSICS & phacoemulsification surgery

To evaluate changes in macular thickness via-a-vis visual acuity post uncomplicated manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) & phacoemulsification Prospective clinical study on 160 patients of immature senile cataract, aged 40-70yrs, were randomised into two groups, MSICS phacoemulsification, by simple 1:1 randomization, who underwent with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL). Post-operatively, the evaluated for best corrected (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) at post-op Day 1, 7, 21, 48, 12 weeks. Paired t-test was used comparison across follow up. : At weeks post-operative, mean logMAR BCVA 0.01±0.02 group 0±0.02 Phacoemulsification group. Macular not statistically significant (p=0.342) between (219.19±17.88µm) Phacoemlusification (215.61±16.21µm), end post-operative. Clinically oedema diagnosed any follow-ups. Both procedures achieved good post-operative Best Corrected without differences both groups
