Abstract: The study analyzed the efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) in reducing the risk of cystoid macular edema (CME) in diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery. Cataract surgery in diabetic patients can lead to faster progression of cataracts and suboptimal visual outcomes due to thicker maculae pre- and post-operatively, along with progression of diabetic retinopathy. Treatment strategies targeting post-operative inflammation are essential to improve visual outcomes and reduce complications such as CME. The study reviewed articles published between 2013 and 2023 and found 25 articles demonstrating the efficacy of TCA in reducing the risk of CME in diabetic patients. Subconjunctival administration of TCA was associated with improved visual outcomes and reduced macular thickness. Although there are different therapeutic approaches, the use of TCA was found to be safe and advantageous, significantly improving the quality of life of diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of these treatment strategies.
