Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are associated with cataract development in patients with type 2 diabetes

This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with cataract development in patients with type 2 diabetes. This case-control cross- sectional study included 90 T2DM (56M/34F). Metabolic risk factors glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides were determined using routine laboratory methods. Blood pressure was measured with a mercury sphygmomanometer after a 10-min resting period. Lens opacity was graded according to the Lens Opacity Classification System version III (LOCS III). Diabetes duration and various metabolic risk factors, particularly poor glycemic control, hypercholesterolemia, diastolic blood pressure, and diabetic nephropathy's coexistence, are associated with cataract development in T2DM.
