Senile cataract Eye Diseases Senile cataract
Conditions
Interventions
Optical coherence tomography imaging was performed before and after the cataract surgery
All patients were randomly assigned a number based on a surgical chart:
1. intracameral lidocaine group receiv

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients requiring phacoemulsification surgery for the treatment of senile cataract were included. Inclusion criteria were the presence of senile cataract between 45 and 85 years of age and a clear fundus examination before the surgery.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria were 1. Pre-existing macular diseases such as macular edema, epiretinal membrane, macular hole and age-related macular degeneration 2. Ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and previous uveitis 3. Pre-existing refractive error: ±3.00 dioptries 4. History of previous intraocular surgery (except cataract surgery in the fellow eye within the previous 6 months) or laser treatment 5. Diabetes, hypertension or other systemic disease that could affect the eye and topical and/or systemic medications with known interference on macular thickness such as steroids and diuretics. 6. Patients with operative complications and eyes with media opacities which could reduce the signal strength and lead to a segmentation error in preoperative measurements were also excluded from the study.
