Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Although the peak incidence of CME is said to be at 4–12 weeks after surgery, we may have missed the time course for detecting the maximum increased OCT measured macular thickness.
