| Abstract |
|
To evaluate the visual, astigmatic results and incidence of complications in cases of no-stich, small incision cataract surgery with a square sclerocorneal tunnel and silicone flexible intraocular lens we cornpared the resuite of catarct surgery in DM patients with those of non-DM patients. 305 eyes of 284 patients including 21 eyes of 20 patients of diabetes mellitus from October, 1994 to Decernber, 1996 who underwent cataract surgery with silicone foldable intraocular lens were enrolled in this retrospective study. During follow-up examination, the change of visual acuity, astigmatism, the incidence of postoperative complications was evaluated. Early visual rehabilitation because of small surgically induced refractive change during im.mediate postoperative period can be achieved. During 2 months follow-up, no against-the-rule shift of astigmatism detected. The incidence of postoperative complication were nearly the same as previous report : decentration 0.7%, hyphema 2%, uveitis 0.4%, posterior casular opacification 4.2%. In cases of posterior capsular opacification, Nd-YAG laser posterior capsulotomy showed significant increment of vision. The visual acuities in DM patients were comparably as good as those of non-DM patients. The incidence of posterior capsular opacification and corneal edema was relatively high in DM patients. In conclusion, no stitch snaall incision cataract, surgery through which silicone foldable intraocular lens im. planted showed good visual, astigmatic results in uncomplicated and selected cases of cornplicated with DM patients. |
