Diabetic retinopathy and cataract surgery.
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 کاملCataract 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 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-...
متن کاملProgression of diabetic retinopathy after cataract extraction
The course of diabetic retinopathy following cataract extraction was studied retrospectively in 89 patients (89 eyes). Cataract extraction was extracapsular in 12 eyes (13.5%), extracapsular with intraocular lens implantation in 37 (41.6%), and intracapsular in 40 (45%). In 55 eyes (61.8%) there was no change in the retinal status after surgery, and in 34 (38.2%) there was progression of diabet...
متن کاملOptimal Timing of Cataract Surgery and Panretinal Photocoagulation for Diabetic Retinopathy
The Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) concluded that panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) should be performed before cataract surgery in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (1). It is also preferable to perform focal photocoagulation for macular edema before PRP (2). Recently, adoption of minimally invasive cataract surgery has reduced the postoperative progression of...
