Macular morphology after cataract surgery with and without primary posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate changes in macular morphology after cataract surgery with and without primary posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (PPCCC).

Methods

A prospective, intraindividual, randomized clinical trial was performed at Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital, Fujian, China. A total of 130 eyes of 65 age-related cataract patients with normal macular morphology and function waiting for bilateral cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were enrolled. Cataract surgery combined with PPCCC was performed in one eye, and routine cataract surgery in the fellow eye (NPCCC group). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements were performed in all patients preoperatively and postoperatively on 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months.
