    Pathological cataracts linked to systemic diseases like diabetes can progress rapidly. While surgery presents challenges, outcomes are comparable to standard cataract surgery without complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Endocrinology
    • Systemic Diseases

    Context:

    • Pathological cataracts are often associated with underlying systemic conditions.
    • Understanding these associations is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose:

    • To elucidate the physiopathological mechanisms of pathological cataract formation.
    • To detail cataract types, clinical manifestations of systemic diseases, and operative complications.

    Summary:

    • A retrospective study of 22 patients with pathological cataracts secondary to diabetes mellitus, skin, endocrine, or central nervous system (SNC) diseases.
    • Patients typically presented with posterior subcapsular or mixed nuclear/posterior subcapsular cataracts, often rapidly progressing to intumescent forms.
    • Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was performed with good outcomes and no surgical complications.

    Impact:

    • Highlights surgical challenges, including posterior capsular rupture risk with soft cataracts and capsulorhexis in intumescent lenses.
    • Demonstrates that surgical outcomes for pathological cataracts are similar to those for common cataracts.
