Diabetes Mellitus in the eyes of Cataract Patients Undergoing Phacoemulsification

Abstract

Cataract lenses are removed from inside the eye through the use of ultrasonic energy and an irrigation/aspiration process, which is then followed by intraocular lens implantation (IOL). The ultrasonic energy used to shave cataracts is currently so concentrated on the cataract itself, but it is still possible that this energy has a different effect on the eye tissue during the phacoemulsification process. Phacoemulsification in diabetic patients is quite challenging. We need to pay attention to these combined diseases and their consequences in order to preserve the delicate tissues and structures of the eye and ensure its function until the future.
