Can diabetes be treated with cataract surgery?

Cataract surgery can be performed on diabetic patients under certain conditions. It is important to note that diabetic patients are at relatively high risk of cataract surgery because diabetes itself increases the risk of surgical complications. Therefore, before surgery, doctors will evaluate the patient's diabetes condition and ensure that the patient's blood sugar levels are well controlled. This can reduce the risk of surgery and improve the success rate of surgery.

After surgery, patients also need to closely monitor blood sugar levels and follow their doctor's post-operative care recommendations to ensure surgical results and eye health.
