[Cataract surgery and implantation in diabetics. Apropos of 92 eyes].
We examined 92 eyes (63 patients) who underwent extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens. Visual acuity improved by two lines or more in 65% of cases. Follow-up examination (6 months and 2 years) showed posterior capsule opacification in 30% of cases. Progression of diabetic retinopathy was mild but cystoid macular edema was present in 70% of cases with non proliferative retinopathy. Proliferative retinopathy was treated postoperative by pan retinal photocoagulation. One neovascular glaucoma occurred, secondary to a ruptured capsule.
