Cataract Management in Diabetes

MITCHELL S. FINEMAN, MD,

WILLIAM E. BENSON, MD,

AND INGRID U. SCOTT, MD, MPH

CORE MESSAGES

Patients with diabetes develop cataracts more frequently and at a younger age than patients without diabetes.

Patients with diabetes are at increased risk of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema.

Cataract surgery may be associated with postoperative progression of diabetic retinopathy.

Individuals who have diabetes mellitus not only develop cataracts more frequently than nondiabetic patients but also do so at a younger age [1–6]. They account for about 10% of people with visually significant cataracts and represent about 6% of the population of the United States [7–10]. Cataract is a frequent cause of visual loss in older-onset diabetic patients and is second only to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in younger-onset diabetic patients [11]. Although the main indication for cataract surgery in diabetic patients is visual rehabilitation, it is occasionally required when the lens opacity prevents adequate

diagnosis or treatment of retinopathy [12].

Diabetic patients have a higher risk of both anterior and posterior segment complications following cataract surgery [13]. One of the most significant anterior segment complications is neovascularization of the iris (NVI), because it usually progresses to neovascular glaucoma [14–18]. Other anterior segment complications include pigment dispersion with precipitates on the surface of the intraocular lens (IOL), fibrinous exudate or membrane in the anterior chamber, and posterior synechiae (Fig. 15.1) [19–21]. The incidence of pseudophakic pupillary block with secondary angle-closure glaucoma [22] and postoperative posterior capsular

opacification (Fig. 15.2) [23,24] is also reported to be greater in diabetic patients. Following cataract surgery in diabetic patients, macular edema, macular ischemia [25–32], PDR [28,33], vitreous hemorrhage [14,33], and tractional retinal detachment [33] may develop or worsen.

The best predictor of visual and anatomic outcomes after cataract surgery is the preoperative severity of retinopathy [14,27,28]. Other factors affecting the postoperative visual outcome are the age and gender of the patient [34], insulin treatment [32,35], glycemic control [35,36], prior laser photocoagulation [37], and previous vitrectomy [38].

In this chapter, unless otherwise specified, the term cataract surgery means phacoemulsification or extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with placement of a posterior chamber IOL, because these techniques are currently used in nearly all cataract operations performed in the United States.

PREOPERATIVE SEVERITY OF RETINOPATHY

No or Mild Retinopathy. The current results of cataract surgery in diabetic patients with no or minimal retinopathy are comparable to those in nondiabetic persons [28,39–42]. About 85% of eyes can be expected to achieve a postoperative visual acuity of 20/40 or better [43]. However, the risk of angiographic pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (CME) is considerably higher than that in nondiabetic patients, and progression of retinopathy occurs in 15% of eyes within 18 months postoperatively [28].

Nonproliferative Retinopathy. Cataract surgery is often followed by progression of established nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) or by NVI (Fig. 15.3) [27–29,31,32,34,35,41]. In one study, clinically significant macular edema (CSME) developed postoperatively in 50% of eyes that did not have it preoperatively [34]. In some cases, progression of NPDR and CSME caused the postoperative visual acuity to be worse than the preoperative level (Fig. 15.4) [25,27]. Dowler and associates [43] performed a meta-analysis and calculated that 80% of eyes with preoperative NPDR and no macular edema achieve a visual acuity of 20/40 or better following ECCE.

In the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS), evaluation of 1-year postoperative visual acuities for all eyes with mild-to-moderate NPDR at the annual visit prior to cataract surgery showed that 53% achieved better than 20/40, 90% better than 20/100, and 10% achieved 5/200 or worse [44]. Severity of retinopathy at the time of lens removal is the most important predictor of poor visual acuity outcome in the study by Dowler and associates [43] and in the ETDRS Report Number 25 [44].

Several investigators have reported that cataract surgery does not lead to progression of preexisting retinopathy [39,45]. Romero-Aroca and associates studied 132 diabetic patients with NPDR who underwent phacoemulsification in one eye; with a mean follow-up interval of 11 months, there was no difference between the operated and fellow eyes in the proportion of eyes with diabetic retinopathy progression [46]. Other investigators have also reported that phacoemulsification with IOL implantation is not associated with diabetic retinopathy progression and that visual improvement is achieved in the majority of patients with NPDR without macular edema; a poorer visual outcome is observed in patients who develop
