Abstract
AIM: To evaluate and compare macular thickness changes after uneventful Phacoemulsification and Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery in correlation with visual acuity. METHOD: Study was conducted on 250 cataract patients they were equally divided into Group A and Group B. Group A patients underwent Phacoemulsification and Group B underwent MSICS. In both groups macular thickness using OCTand Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 day, 1, 3, 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months. Macular thickness changes were evaluated and compared with visual acuity. RESULTS: Macular thickness continued to increase from 1 week to 6 months postoperatively which was statistically significant. No correlation found between increased macular thickness and BCVA. CONCLUSION: Increase in macular thickness remained subclinical and there was no impact of increased macular thickness on the final visual outcome.
