An elevated risk may be associated with the cataract type, case complexity, and history of diabetic macular edema or proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
For surgeons, the decision goes beyond clarifying a patient’s vision.
Although graft rejection has not been associated with vaccinations, concern remains.
Impairment of corneal sensory innervation causes reduction of both protective reflexes and trophic neuromodulators that are essential for the vitality, metabolism, and wound healing of the ocular surface.
Investigators say renal function could be used as a possible predictor for poor treatment response in certain patients with diabetic macular edema.
French investigators found that individuals over the age of 75 were not at an increased risk of having a myocardial infarction, stroke, or pulmonary embolism during the 14 days after receiving each of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine doses against the COVID-19 virus.
