Official title
Pilot Study of the Effect of Pegaptanib Sodium to Prevent Worsening of Cystoid Macular Edema Following Cataract Surgery in Diabetics
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This research is being conducted to look at the effects of an intraocular drug (pegaptanib, also called Macugen) for the treatment of swelling in the retina (the light sensitive tissue in the back of the eye) that often occurs following cataract surgery in patients with diabetic eye disease. Swelling in the retina can lead to blurry vision, and Macugen may reduce this swelling. Eyedrops that decrease inflammation also may help to stop some of the swelling. We are testing this drug (pegaptanib) to see if it can decrease swelling in the retina and improve vision in patients with diabetes who are having cataract surgery.
