%X Aim: To evaluate the effect of intracameral dexamethasone on diabetic macular edema injected at the end of cataract surgery in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Material and Method: Thirty patients with diabetic retinopathy and cataract were included in this study. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination which consisted best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior segment evaluation with slit lamp microscopy, fundus examination with Goldman three mirror lens, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement with applanation tonometry before cataract surgery. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was taken following each ocular examination. At the end of cataract surgery 0,1 cc dexamethasone was given intracamerally from the cataract incision. Each patient was reevaluated with BCVA, IOP and FFA at 1st month after surgery. Results: Thirty one eye of 18 (%64.3) women and 10 (%35.7) mans who ages ranging from 52 to 87 were enrolled in this study. All of patients had type 2 diabetes. Mean age of the patients was 65.25¡À8.57 and 16 (%25.8) eyes had diffuse diabetic macular edema, 8 (%25.8) eyes had cystoid macular edema and 7 (%22.6) eyes had both diffuse diabetic macular edema and cystoid diabetic macular edema. Macular edema did not change in 19 (%61.3) eyes and decreased in 12 (%38.7) eyes. The mean corrected visual acuity was preoperatively 0.10¡À0.11, postoperatively 0.2¡À0.22 at first month. Postoperative increase in v£¿sual acuity was found statistically significant (p£¿0,001). Conclusion: Intracameral dexamethasone injection appears to be effective in reducing the effect of surgery on diabetic macular edema in eyes with diabetic retinopathy and catarac
