Cataract in diabetes patients
Keywords:
Diabetes, Cataract, Visual acuity, Cataract surgeryAbstract
People with diabetes carry a higher risk of blindness more than people without diabetes. The most common causes of visual loss are diabetic retinopathy and cataract. The cataract refers to clouding of the lens of the eye. The cataracts tend to develop earlier in people with diabetes. The lens are situated immediately behind the pupil, which are usually entirely transparent in young people. With advancing age, the lens may become cloudy and vision can be impaired. The previous studies found that the visual acuity of diabetic patients is improved after cataract surgery. Cataract surgery in diabetes patients with minimal or without retinopathy carries the same good prognosis as cataract surgery in people without diabetes. However, diabetic patients have higher complication rate after surgery more than non-diabetic patients.
