  • Title: Acute transient bilateral diabetic posterior subcapsular cataracts(1).
    Author: Sharma P, Vasavada AR.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2001 May; 27(5):789-94. PubMed ID: 11377915.
    Abstract:
    A 62-year-old man in whom diabetes was recently detected presented with visually significant, bilateral posterior subcapsular cataracts within days of initiating antihyperglycemic therapy. With efficient control and a stable serum glucose level, the cataracts started regressing. Except for a few scattered opacities, the patient was left with essentially clear lenses. Visual acuity of counting fingers at 2 ft in the right eye and 20/63 in the left eye improved to 20/20 in both eyes within 5 weeks.
