Meta-analysis of corneal endothelial changes after phacoemulsification in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, there is still controversy about the differential changes in corneal endothelium function and morphology after phacoemulsification between Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and non-Diabetes Mellitus (non-DM) patients. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the influence of phacoemulsification on the corneal endothelium in DM and non-DM patients.

Methods

Databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies published between January 1, 2011 and December 25, 2021. The weighted mean difference and 95% confidence interval were used to estimate the outcomes of statistical analyses performed.

Results

Thirteen studies involving 1744 eyes were included in this meta-analysis. No significant difference was observed in the centra
