Clinical sdudy of treating of diabetic cataracts with phacoemulsification combined with fodcable imtraocular lens implantation

Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect and complications of treating of diabetic cataracts with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods 120 cases (136eyes) of diabetic cataracts under went phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation through a 3.0 ～3.2 mm Limbus tunnel incision. Results 3 months after operation the naked eye vision ＜ 0. 05 were in 6 eyes (4.41%),0.05 ～0.25 in 24 eyes(17.65%),0.3 ～0.5 in 46 eyes(33.82%),0.6 ～ 1.0 in 60 eyes (44. 12% ). There was no statistieal difference between the nean preoperative astigmatism and postoperative astigmatism at 3 manths which wore respectively ( 1.05 ± 0. 36 ) d ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion It is safe and efficient to treat diabetic cataracts with phacoemulsification combined with fodcable intraocular lens implantation. Key words: Diabetic;  Cataract;  Phacoemulsification
