How can cataracts caused by diabetes be controlled?

Patient's question:

How can cataracts caused by diabetes be controlled?

Doctor's answer:

Diabetes can cause changes in aqueous humor concentration, which may lead to the recurrence of cataracts. To treat cataracts caused by this reason, it is first necessary to control blood sugar levels within the normal range. Cataracts can be appropriately reduced. If the visual impairment is severe and the corrected vision is higher than 0.3, surgical treatment should be administered promptly. Generally, vision can be fully restored to normal three days after surgery.
