Cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for the treatment of diabetic cataract

Objective: To explore clinical effects of cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation on the elderly diabetic patients.Methods: 90 cases(128 eyes) of diabetic cataract patients were treated by cataract phacoemulsification combined intraocular lens implantation,and 90 cases(128 eyes) of cataract patients without diabetes as control,postoperative complications were observed in 2 groups.Results: Postoperative complications were significantly higher in diabetic cataract patients than that in non diabetic one.Conclusion: That effectively controlling blood glucose before and after operation is conducive to the prevention of postoperative complications in treating diabetic cataract patients with cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.
