| Core Tip |
The incidence of cataracts is higher in the diabetic population as compared to non-diabetics with an early presentation. Cataract surgery in diabetic patients poses many challenges: Poor epithelial healing, decreased corneal sensitivity, increased central corneal thickness, decreased endothelial cell count, variable topography, poor pupillary dilatation, anterior capsular phimosis, posterior capsular opacification, chances of progression of diabetic retinopathy, zonular weakness, vitreous prolapse, and diabetic macular edema. The choice of intraocular lenses (IOL) in diabetic cataract patients is a challenging scenario. The wish of diabetic cataract patients to get spectacle-free vision by implantation of premium IOLs needs to be discouraged in cases of pre-existing advanced retinopathy and maculopathy. Right from the beginning proper pre-operative examination, type of patient, the timing of surgery, and counselling about different IOLs are paramount to achieving the best results in diabetic patients undergoing cataract surgery. |
