Abstract :

Diabetes mellitus has been reported as the most critical factor causing visual loss.Diabetes mellitus is also known as an important risk factor for cataracts. Diabetes induces cataract through the sorbitol pathway. Patients with diabetic background will have bigger chance to occur cataract in younger age than patients without diabetic background. The purpose of this study was performed to analyze the correlations between type 2 diabetes mellitus and the age of cataract appearance. This study was a case control study. Ninety six cataract patients at outpatient unit of Eye in Dr. Soetomo Hospital underwent ophthalmologic evaluation were studied retrospectively. Cataract patients were classified into a diabetic group (case group) and control group (i.e. a group without diabetes). Sample size was taken using total sampling case group and random sampling for control group, in the period of January – July 2011. Data were collected by using secondary data i. e. patient’s medical record. Data were analyzed descriptively using cross-tabulation and analytically using Mann-Whitney test and Spearman Correlation test. Risk factor like sex, age, and duration of diabetes (in case group) were also observed. Females were more common in both groups. The mean age of cataract appearance in diabetic group was younger than control group. Immature cataract was most common type of cataract in both groups. The mean duration of diabetes in diabetic group was 80,67 months. Mann-Whitney test revealed that age of cataract occurrence in diabetic group was significantly differ (p = 0,000) with control group. Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between duration of diabetes and the age of cataract occurrence(p= 0,964, with coefficient of correlation = -0,007). In conclusion, Type 2 diabetes mellitus was significantly related to the age of cataract occurrence. This finding indicated that diabetes can accelerate the occurrence of cataract.
