Correlation between phacoemulsfication surgery duration and postoperative cystoid macular edema (on optical coherence tomography)
Background: Delayed or suboptimal visual recovery after cataract surgery is an important worry, which includes the occurrence of cystoid macular edema (CME). Phacoemulsification (PE) may induce postoperative changes of the retina by mechanical and inflammatory mechanisms via the ultrasonic energy applied during phacoem...
