| Popis: | Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of anterior chamber angle morphology after cataract surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Methods: In this prospective and comparative study, 57 eyes of the patients with cataract were investigated. The patients were divided into two groups. The DM2 group included cataractous type 2 diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy ( n = 30) and the non-DM2 group included nondiabetic participants with cataract ( n = 27). The AS-OCT examinations were performed at baseline and 1 month after the cataract surgery. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), angle-opening distance at 500 µm (AOD-500) and trabecular iris space area at 500 µm (TISA-500), and scleral spur angle (SSA) in temporal quadrant were analyzed. Results: The mean age, sex, and axial length values were similar in both groups ( p > 0.05 for all). The CDVA was significantly improved in both groups ( p 0.05 for all). Conclusion: Cataract surgery showed significant increases in mean anterior chamber angle parameters and reductions in IOP values in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients without intergroup significant differences. These results suggested the safety and effectiveness of cataract surgery, especially regarding anterior chamber angle parameters and so IOP changes. |
