Abstract:: OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of cataract surgery on progression of diabetic retinopathy and visual acuity. METHODS: 37 patient eyes with mild to moderate diabetic retinopathy at baseline underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular posterior chamber lens implantation. They were examined 3.3 +/- (SD) 0.7 years after surgery. RESULTS: 83.8% of the eyes showed a better final visual acuity, and 67.6% achieved a final visual acuity of 0.5 or better. The retinopathy remained unchanged in 83.8% and progressed in 16.2% of the eyes. No eye progressed to proliferative retinopathy. CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification and implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens is a safe procedure for patients with mild to moderate diabetic retinopathy.
