Cataract surgery is the most commonly done procedure throughout the world and majority would be diabetics. As pseudophakic-cystoid macular edema (CME) is a known complication following cataract surgery, our study concentrated on finding the role of prophylactic topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on change in total macular volume (TMV) postcataract surgery in diabetic eyes.</p><p><strong>Aims: </strong>To evaluate the role of NSAIDs on change in TMV postcataract surgery in diabetic eyes.</p><p><strong>Settings and design: </strong>Retrospective comparative study.</p><p><strong>Subjects and methods: </strong>Data were collected from the medical records department of our institute constituting diabetics undergoing cataract surgery from June-2021 to February-2022. Eighty diabetic eyes were divided into two groups: one group were given topical nepafenac drops and another who were not given.
