Detailed ophthalmic evaluation including fundus examination was done in all cases, and DR staging was done. Optical coherence tomography and fundus fluorescein angiography were done in indicated cases. Fundus evaluation was done during the follow-up visits in 3 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postsurgery and the tests were repeated if necessary.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the current study, there was a statistically significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity after cataract surgery compared to the preoperative value. From the 330 eyes we analyzed, there was a progression of DR in only 18 eyes (5.45%) following phacoemulsification. There was a statistically significant increase in central macular thickness (CMT) at 3 weeks postoperative (433.82 \u00b1 137.572) compared to that of the preoperative CMT (295.98 \u00b1 97.959). From the 22 eyes which showed a progression of diabetic maculopathy, 11 eyes had developed new-onset macular edema following the cataract surgery, 11 eyes had progression of preexisting edema, and 4 of them had to undergo intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections as the treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The chance of progression of DR staging is low after uncomplicated phacoemulsification, on a short term. However, the chances of worsening of macular edema as well as worsening of proliferative stages should be kept in mind while advising a patient for cataract surgery.<\/jats:p>\n
