Effect of cataract surgery on optical coherence tomography measurements and repeatability in patients with non-insulin–dependent diabetes mellitus. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2013;54:5303–5312. DOI:10.1167/iovs.13-12390 PURPOSE. To evaluate the effect of uncomplicated cataract phacoemulsification on macular and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness using two spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) instruments, Cirrus OCT and Spectralis OCT, in patients having noninsulin–dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) without retinopathy, and to assess the reliability of the OCT measurements before and after cataract surgery.
