Assessing Diabetes Mellitus on Cytokine Analysis and Macular Edema Following FLACS

NCT04856670 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 140

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on anterior chamber cytokine production and postoperative macular edema in patients undergoing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). Patients with DM routinely undergo FLACS, yet the majority of studies evaluating intraocular inflammation following femtosecond laser treatment have excluded this patient population. Importantly, DM alters the inflammatory status of the eye, which may influence the production of inflammatory mediators following femtosecond laser treatment and the development of postoperative macular edema. The results from this study will provide insight into the risks and benefits of FLACS in patients with DM.
