Cataract and diabetic retinopathy
patient with diabetes, you should remember that cataract surgery may make diabetic retinopathy worse. Eyes with mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy at the time of surgery are considered less at risk. Those with severe non-proliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy have a higher risk of progressive disease.1 Clinically significant macular oedema (CSMO) present at th...
متن کاملDoes Diarrhoea Causes Cataract? Can Cataract be Prevented by Aspirin?
Loss of transparency of the lens is termed cataract which is one of the commonest causes of blindness throughout the world. This major health problem appears to be much commoner in many developing countries such as India and Pakistan, where it causes visual disability at a substantially earlier age and several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this higher prevalence in these areas. Re...

Two papers in the current issue, one from Pollack, Dotan, and Oliver of Israel and the other from Cunliffe and colleagues of Cambridge, deal with the effects of cataract surgery on diabetic retinopathy and its complications. All ophthalmologists are aware that there are possible extra hazards when cataract extraction has to be done in the presence of diabetic retinopathy, but in view of the fac...
متن کاملPharmacological prevention of diabetic cataract.
Cataract--opacification of the lens--is closely related to diabetes as one of its major late complications. This review deals with three molecular mechanisms that may be involved in the development of diabetic cataract: nonenzymatic glycation of eye lens proteins, oxidative stress, and activated polyol pathway in glucose disposition. Implications resulting from these mechanisms for possible pha...
متن کامل[Progression of diabetic retinopathy after cataract extraction].
A prospective study of the effect of cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation on the course of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in 44 patients (59 eyes) was carried out. It showed that in the 1-3 years following surgery, there was progression of DR (including development of newly formed retinopathy) in 35% of the patients (28.8% of eyes). Progression was more marked in patients with pre-...
