Prevention of macular edema in patients with diabetes after cataract surgery

To evaluate the efficacy of topical steroids  ± nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), depot steroids, and antivascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGFs) in preventing pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) after cataract surgery in patients with diabetes, a systematic literature search for randomized controlled trials publi shed after 1990 was carried out in Cochrane, EMBASE, and PubMed databases. A meta-analysis was performed using risk ratios for PCME as the primary outcome and visual acuity, macular thickness, and adverse events as the secondary outcomes.
