title: Acute bilateral cataract with phacomorphic glaucoma in a girl with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The authors present a rare case of acute bilateral cataract with phacomorphic glaucoma in a girl with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus without a known history of ocular problems. Within 3 months after the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, she presented with high intraocular pressure. Her visual acuity was limited to hand motions. The patient required immediate surgical intervention. Postoperatively, the intraocular pressure normalized and bilateral visual acuity was 6/6.
