Objective To investigate the relative factors affecting long-term prognosis of visual acuity in diabetic patients after implantation of artificial lens. Methods A total of 86 eyes of 86 diabetic patients with implantation of artificial lens were enrolled in this study. The gender, age, core rigidity, course of disease, preoperative levels of blood sugar and HbA1c, insulin administration, anterior chamber inflammation at the first day after operation, hypertension, and hyperlipemia were recorded. Multi-factor relation analysis of visual acuity was performed at the first month and the third year after operation, respectively. Results The postoperative visual acuity at the first week after operation was related to the preoperative level of blood sugar and HbA1c, core rigidity, anterior chamber inflammation at the first day after operation and types of operation(P
