Diabetic Patient and Cataract Surgery

Post-op edema in a diabetic patient isn’t always what it seems. Is it inflammatory #CME or true #DME? They can look similar on OCT, but the pathway and treatment are different. Dr. Mona Camacci breaks down the key clues: OCT patterns, timing, prior history, and the single FA finding that often makes the diagnosis clear. Sometimes it’s not either/or, but both, and catching that early can change outcomes. A practical framework every #cataract and #retina colleague should have in their back pocket.
