Beato JN, Esteves-Leandro J, Reis D, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective observational study to compare corneal biomechanical changes after uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgery between type 2 diabetic (DM) and nondiabetic patients. The sample consisted of 44 diabetic (44 eyes) and 44 (44 eyes) age and sex-matched non-DM controls with age-related cataracts. In the DM group, corneal hysteresis was found to be significantly lower than the preoperative value at 1 month, but not at the 6-month follow-up, while in the non-DM group, it did not change significantly. The authors discovered that phacoemulsification triggers a significant and persistent reduction in intraocular pressure and corneal resistance factor in both groups, while CH recovered to preoperative values, albeit more slowly in patients with diabetes.
