Description
Etsuo Chihara, Eri Nakano, and Tomoyuki Chihara check whether diabetes worsens results of a glaucoma operation in a 2024 study. The operation opens a tiny drain canal in the eye to lower pressure, using a low-impact approach. Glaucoma slowly steals sight when eye pressure stays high.
The team followed twenty-five patients with diabetes and eighty-four without, for about three years on average. Before surgery, eye pressure was alike in both groups. From three months to two years after surgery, pressure ran higher in the diabetes group. Their odds of reaching tight pressure targets were also lower. Adjusted models kept diabetes as a clear risk factor at six and twelve months. The authors advise factoring diabetes into surgical planning.
