Abstract:
As the increases of morbidity of diabetes, the cataract patients with diabetes mellitus requiring surgery is gradually increasing.Compared with age-related cataract, cataract patients with diabetes mellitus showed earlier onset, faster developing, higher prevalence and more postoperative complications, including posterior capsular opacification, corneal-related complications and cystoid macular edema.The therapy of cataract with diabetes is relatively complicated.The blood glucose level, the severity of cataract, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema need to be considered in order to choose the optimal operation timing and corresponding therapeutic methods.Therefore, individualized treatment should be carried out based on the controlling of systemic diseases, and more attention should be paid to the following-up of diabetic retinopathy after cataract surgery.
