A retrospective analysis of patients operated from July 2012 till May 2015 in a urban charitable setup in Jharkhand was done to establish the prevalence of Diabetic patients amongst the total number operated for cataract . The percentage of Male and Female diabetic patients was also studied.
The percentage of Diabetic patients was found to vary between 8 to 15 percent of the total number of cataract cases operated on a year to year basis . Interestingly, the ratio of male to female patients is 1:1,indicating equal prevalence of Diabetes in the studied patient subset.
