Abstract
Introduction:- To determine visual outcome and intraoperative and postoperative complications following cataract surgery in diabetic patients
with visually signicant cataract. This is a prospective interventional Materials And Method :- study of 100 diabetic cataract patients attending
outpatient department of ophthalmology in a tertiary eye care government hospital who underwent manual SICS from October 2021 to January
2022 . Intra-operative and post-operative complications were noted on follow up. Out of 100 pati Results:- ents,68% of patients had post operative
visual acuity 6/12 or better. Most common complication noted intraoperatively was posterior capsular rent and post operatively was striate
keratopathy (38%) which was mild in 22% cases. Other complications noted include vitreous loss, corneal edema , serous uveitis, brinous uveitis
with posterior synechiae, posterior capsular opacity, pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and clinically signicant macular edema. Conclusion:-
Visual improvement was seen in diabetic patient with cataract following surgery. Poor visual outcome in diabetics was mainly due to retinopathy,
maculopathy or surgical complications. Monitoring for progression of diabetic retinopathy in postoperative period and timely treatment may
enhance visual outcome
