Patient with diabetes mellitus have a higher prevalence of lens opacity 1and cataractdevelopment at an earlier age than non diabetic.2Cataract in diabetes mellitus decreasesthe visual acuity, makes posterior segment evaluation and laser treatment difficult.Several studies have shown that there is progression of diabetic retinopathy after cataractsurgery. In all studies, criteria for progression of diabetic retinopathy are:a) progression of any form/type or stage of diabetic eye (DE), nonproliferative diabeticretinopathy (NPDR) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) to any advanced,recurrent form/ type or stage of NPDR or PDR andb) development of new clinically significant macular edema (CSME) and/or worsening/recurrent of preexisting CSME defined by Early Treatment Diabetic RetinopathyStudy (ETDRS).• More severe the preexisting diabetic retinopathy (DR), much worse the DR aftercataract extraction. The progression of DR after cataract extraction is severe inIntracapsular Cataract Extraction (ICCE) than Extracapsular Cataract Extraction(ECCE) with Intraocular Lens (IOL) and Sutureless Small Incision CataractSurgery (SICS) and Phacoemulcification.• Progression of DR increases with complicated cataract surgery, like posteriorcapsular rupture (PCR), vitreous loss and prolonged surgery.• The first 6 months period is crucial as a minimum period of follow up to detectprogression of DR.• There are other several local and systemic risk factors for the progression of DR,like hypertension, renal failure, ischemic heart disease, high cholesterol andtriglyceride level, pregnancy etc.Key Words: Diabetic retinopathy, cataract surgery, risk factors

Purpose: To describe a case of a patient presenting with acquired acoria and iris pearls, a rare eye manifestation and pathognomonic finding for leprosy; to reinforce clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic aspects of ocular involvement in leprosy. Methods: Case report. Case description: A 62-year-old male presenting with acquired acoria and iris pearls in both eyes due to leprosy also had anterior uveitis and cataract. Histopathological diagnosis of iris pearls was confirmed by the presence of Hansen’s bacilli. Ophthalmological examination revealed improvement of the visual acuity after iridectomy and extracapsular cataract extraction. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of acquired acoria in a leprosy patient. It led to impaired vision and reversible blindness. Proper diagnosis and ophthalmological treatment of patients with these conditions are essential for the maintenance of a good quality of life.

The objective of this case report was to present the development of implantation cyst following the perforating corneal injury, the problems related to the treatment, including total surgical excision of the cyst, the secondary cataract extraction, iridoplasty and the artificial intraocular lens reposition. A patient first presented with perforating corneal injury inflicted by a piece of wood, with the iris prolapse. Primary wound management, reposition of prolapsed iris and corneal sutures were performed four days after the injury. Eight months later, the patient was rehospitalized due to an implantation iris cyst and traumatic cataract. The cyst was excised, the extracapsular cataract extraction was done and the anterior chamber lens was implanted. Postoperative visual acuity was normal. Three years later, the patient presented for a follow-up examination, with the cyst filled up again, occupying two thirds of the anterior chamber. This time, the cyst was completely excised, all fibrous remnants of the secondary cataract were removed, and the iridoplasty was necessary due to large iris coloboma. Reposition of the anterior chamber lens was carried out. Histological examination revealed an implantation iris cyst covered by multilayered squamous epithelium. Normal visual acuity was achieved. The patient has been followed-up for six months uneventfully. Management of perforating corneal wound with iris prolapse may lead to development of an implantation iris cyst. Puncture of the cyst as well as incomplete excision will not solve the problem. Complete surgical removal of the iris cyst is the treatment of choice.

The study of 30 patients was performed at Lahore General Hospital, and Institute Of Ophthalmology Mayo Hospital, Lahore from June 1989 to June 2003 for 14 years. Total number of eyes were 34 where 2 patients had both eyes. Age ranged from 12-65 years. Males were 11 and females were 19. all the patients had planned extracapsular cataract extraction with IOL implantation. Total follow up period ranged from 1-5 years and best corrected visual acuity in these patients after surgery was 6/12 to 6/6. Post operatively, eyes had vitreous membranes and glaucomatous reaction.
