The remarks of the Australian group are valuable thoughts, which are mainly triggered by a new technology that is still in its developmental phase.

First, it is important to emphasize that our study was aimed at assessing macular morphology in postoperative subclinical macular edema, not CME, which we clearly described in the manuscript.

Our answers to the points made by the authors are as follows.
