Safety of Trypan Blue on Endothelium of Diabetic Retinopathy Patients
- Conditions
- Cataract Diabetic
- Interventions
- Procedure: Phacoemulsification with and without Trypan Blue capsule staining
- Registration Number
- NCT03755752
- Lead Sponsor
- Assiut University
- Brief Summary
This study examines the use of Trypan Blue staining of the corneal endothelium in patients undergoing phacoemulsification. It is a single-center prospective, randomized individual cohort study. One eye in each patient with diabetic retinopathy will undergo phacoemulsification without Trypan Blue capsule staining (control eye) while the other eye will undergo phacoemulsification with Trypan Blue capsule staining (study eye). Both eyes will undergo intraocular lens implantation. Preoperative and four-week postoperative quantitative and qualitative morphometric endothelial cell analyses of the cornea will be performed using noncontact specular microscopy.
