Implication

Prospective observational case series shows transient macular thickness increase after uneventful cataract surgery, indicating the importance of monitoring.

Key Points

The aim is to assess changes in macular thickness following uneventful cataract surgery.
Conducted as a prospective observational case series.
Included patients over 40 years undergoing routine phacoemulsification.
Excluded patients with specific ocular conditions or previous surgeries.
Macular thickness assessed preoperatively and on postoperative days one, seven, and 28 using SD-OCT.
Central and paracentral macular thickness significantly increased by postoperative day 7.
Macular thickness returned near baseline by postoperative day 28.
Changes did not significantly impact visual acuity.
No correlation found between macular thickness and surgical variables.
