Combined Phacoemulsification Surgery and Intravitreal Triamcinolone Injection Versus Stand-alone Surgery in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Triamcinolone Acetonide for Diabete Type 2 and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 73 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators aim in this study to investigate the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection on the development of macular edema and the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Whether this injection hastens cataract surgery results or not. The investigators will categorize the participants into two groups: the case group who will receive the injection at the end of the surgery, and the control group who will have routine cataract surgery with no extra injections.
