    Journal: Oftalmologia; 1998; 44(3):40-4. PubMed ID: 10418612.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The purpose of this study is to display the influence of diabetes on the course of the operation, postoperative complications and functional results in operated primary cataract. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed a study on 42 eyes with cataract and diabetes operated in the University Eye Hospital from Cluj-Napoca during 1992-1996. RESULTS: From the 42 cases, 32 had diabetes non-insulin-dependent. Background diabetic retinopathy was present in only 16 cases (38%). In 33 cases it was performed EEC + PC - IOL. Postoperative, in 38 cases it was striate keratitis, in 21 eyes pigmentary migration and in 3 cases uveitis. As late postoperative complications we had 5 secondary cataract and 1 retinal detachment. Functional results were in majority cases between 0.1-0.3. CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes do not influence the course of planned extracapsular extraction with PC-IOL, which is the best choice for the patients with cataract and diabetes. Functional results depends on the presence of diabetic retinopathy.
