Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Cataract is the most common cause of ocular morbidity in the Indian population, among which a major portion of people are having diabetes mellitus. Aim: This study aims to assess the visual outcome after cataract surgery in those who are having diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted from July 2017 to September 2017 among 150 patients who were presented to the Ophthalmology Outpatient Department in Government Theni Medical College, Theni, and who were admitted and operated in ophthalmology inpatient ward. We used the data based on clinical evaluation as well as from various ophthalmologic equipments and from our central laboratory. Results: Out of 150 patients studied, 42 were diabetic and among which 3 were having diabetic retinopathy, and their post-operative visual outcome was highly satisfactory. Conclusion: Our study shows that the public are unaware of the ocular complications that may occur in type 2 diabetes mellitus as a result of which they present to the ophthalmology OPD too late even in the presence of marked loss of vision. Hence, the urgent need for public education about diabetes and its ocular complications are advised.
