- Objective: This research work aimed to provide a comparison of the phacoemulsification surgical intervention with the IOL (Intraocular Lens) in the patients suffering from diabetes or without this very disease at follow up end. Methodology: This study was an observational research work. The ethical committee of Alshifa Eye Hospital Sukkur gave the permission to conduct this research work. Total 80 patients suffering from cataract of single eye were the part of this research work. We divided the patients into 2 groups. Group-A contained 40 patients suffering from diabetes and Group-B contained 40 non- diabetic patients of cataract we included the patients with at least 30 year of age in both groups. Patients present with the small size pupil, PES (Pseudo Exfoliation Syndrome), DR (Diabetic Retinopathy) and strong past history of the uveitis, macular degeneration and glaucoma were not the part of this research work. SPSS V.20 was in use for the statistical analysis of the collected information. Results: BVCA (best corrected visual-acuity) in the patients of Group-A improved from 0.7928 ± 0.1608 Log-MAR before surgery to 0.1628 ± 0.1228 after the duration of 6 months after the surgery. The outcome in the patients of Group-B was 0.440 ± 0.108 & 0.078 ± 0.0718 Log-Mar. considering the standard of World Health Organization, 85.48% patients of Group-A & 90.0% patients of Group-B obtained the normal vision on the very first day after the surgery. Remaining 10.48% patients of Group-A and 6.0% of Group-B obtained the vision of moderate level on the very first day after the surgery and obtained the normal vision within one week after the surgery. Conclusion: Visual results in the diabetics after the surgical intervention of phacoemulsification with IOL implantation are almost as good as in the patients of Group-B if they are present with no retinopathy and they have excellent control on glucose level.
