[Contrast on therapeutic results of intraocular lens implantation in diabetics and non-diabetics].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the results of intraocular lens implantation in diabetics who suffered from cataract.


METHODS
30 cases (37 eyes) of diabetics with cataract and 174 cases (197 eyes) of non-diabetics with senile cataract were performed with intraocular lens implantation. The postoperative follow-up was from 2 to 18 months.


RESULTS
The statistics of the visual acuity in two groups had no difference. The primary factor that effected visual acuity was original retinopathy. Postoperative complications of diabetics group, such as anterior chamber fibrinous exudate, pigment diffusion, were much serious than those of non-diabetic group. But if strong effective hormones were locally administrated, inflammation was absorbed.


CONCLUSIONS
The therapeutic results of the diabetics with no or only minor retinopathy were similar with those of non-diabetics.
