Sažetak
Diabetes mellitus influences the function and morphology of the eye lens. The cataract is the second most common
complication of diabetes mellitus on the eye. A hundred patients with cataract were examined in the prospective study.
The patients were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 50 patients with cataract who had not suffered
from a system or local disease. The second group consisted of 50 patients with cataract and diabetes mellitus that had
lasted for at least five years. In both groups the patients underwent identical cataract extra capsular extraction with
intraocular PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) lens implantation in camera posterior. The objective of this study was to
compare the two groups of patients in order to find out the most common intraoperative or postoperative complications
in diabetics. The most common postoperative complications in patients suffering from diabetes were inflammatory reactions
and bleeding: postoperative keratopathy, uveitis anterior serous and uveitis anterior fibrinous with posterior
sinechia and opacity of the posterior lens capsule as results. Postoperative visual acuity was worse in the patients in
group II on the seventh day and six months after operation. It was diabetic retinopathy and its progression that caused
deterioration of visual acuity. Diabetic retinopathy and its progression, as well as maculopathy were found only in patients
who were not treated with photocoagulation before the operation.
