Senile cataract extraction and diabetes.
A study of hospital discharge diagnoses from both national data and data from a local medical centre indicates that diabetes substantially increases the probability of cataract extraction at age 40-49, about doubles or triples the probability for age 50-69, and has little effect on risk at age 70 and over. Strengths and weaknesses of the data are discussed. Other reports, generally estimating a...

In these eyes, during capsulorhexis, there are very high chances of anterior capsule tears with peripheral extension due to the high pressure of the hydrated cataractous lens.
