Results in comparison between 30 gauge ultrathin wall and 27 gauge needle in sutureless intraocular lens flanged technique in diabetic patients: 24-month follow-up study.

Aims: Intraoperative complications in cataract surgery are more common in diabetic patients. Solving aphakia in these circumstances remains a challenge, as the scleral structure has been shown to be different in diabetes. This study aims to analyze the role of a secondary sutureless scleral intraocular lens (IOL) flanged fixation in diabetic patients without capsular support and to compare the anatomical and functional outcomes using a 30 gauge (G) ultrathin wall needle vs.
