Abstract EN
Objective.
To determine the influence of phacoemulsification on choroidal vasculature in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) undergoing cataract surgery using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Methods.
The study was conducted in 23 eyes of 23 cataract patients with mild/moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) without diabetic macular edema (DME) and 23 age-matched controls.
Choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) were measured at baseline and 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery.
Results.
The baseline CVI in the DR group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P=0.001).
CVI in DR patients after surgery significantly increased compared with preoperative values (all P<0.001 for 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery).
Postoperative increase of CVI and CT in the DR group was more than in the control group, and the difference was significant 1 month and 3 months after surgery (all P<0.05).
Conclusion.
Patients with mild/moderate NPDR have reduced CVI compared with nondiabetic patients at baseline; diabetic cataract surgery tended to induce more increase in CVI and CT as compared with nondiabetic patients.
This trial is registered with NCT04499768.
