Diabetes alone does not impair recovery from uneventful cataract surgery
Diabetes itself, insulin-dependence, poor glycemic control, and diabetic ocular manifestations are all considered risk factors for PCME. Register-based studies may overestimate the risk of PCME in diabetic patients. When diabetes is appropriately managed, in eyes without posterior segment manifestations clinical outcomes after uneventful cataract surgery may be comparable to non-diabetic controls.
