Cataract associated with systemic disease
Diabetic Cataract:
Early onset of senile cataract and cataract develops rapidly. True diabetic cataract is rare condition, occurring typically in young people with acute diabetes (with gross imbalance of water balance of the body). Fluid droplets (vacuoles) appear under the anterior and posterior subcapsular cortex, manifesting as myopia, producing diffuse opacity. These changes are reversible in the early stages. Sometime it leads to a white lens or mature cataract.
With chronic Diabetes, posterior subcapsular or cortical cataracts often form in diabetics.
As the rate of cataracts in diabetics is much higher than the normal population, it is important to have regular eye exams.
