Diabetes mellitus is a major threat to global public health that requires long-term medical attention. In view of the potentially devastating effects of diabetes on ocular health, it highlights the urgent need of therapeutic drugs for the prevention and treatment of the diabetic complications. The patent described in this evaluation (WO2015026380A1) claimed a topical composition for treating diabetic cataracts both in animals and human beings. The composition containing a therapeutic amount of the 2R-methyl sorbinil, one of aldose reductase inhibitors, delivered to the dog's eye can exert a preventive, inhibitory, or prophylactic effect on diabetic cataracts in a statistically significant portion of the population being studied. Thus methods and strategies using new formulations of known inhibitors are promising for future use in the treatment of diabetic complications.

This study explores a transfer learning approach with vision transformers (ViTs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for classifying retinal diseases, specifically diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts, from ophthalmoscopy images. Using a balanced subset of 4217 images and ophthalmology-specific pretrained ViT backbones, this method demonstrates significant improvements in classification accuracy, offering potential for broader applications in medical imaging. Glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts are common eye diseases that can cause vision loss if not treated.

Mydriasis Stability During Cataract Surgery in Patients with Systemic Comorbidities Using a Standardised Combination of Intracameral Mydriatics and Anaesthetic.
Life (Basel)
January 2025
University Clinical Centre named after Prof. K. Gibiński, Medical University of Silesia, 40-514 Katowice, Poland.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate mydriasis stability during cataract surgery in patients with systemic comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM) and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) after a standardised combination of intracameral mydriatics and anaesthetic (SCIMA). Stable mydriasis is crucial for safe and effective phacoemulsification.
Methods: Patients were included if they achieved pupil dilation ≥6.

Diabetes has become a global epidemic, contributing to significant health challenges due to its complications. Among these, diabetes can affect sight through various mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of early identification and management of vision-threatening conditions in diabetic patients. Changes in the crystalline lens caused by diabetes may lead to temporary and permanent visual impairment.

Background: To assess associations between mortality and major ocular parameters and diseases.
Methods: The population-based Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS) and Ural Very Old Study (UVOS) included 5899 individuals (age: 40+ years) and 1526 individuals (age: 85+ years), respectively. Cause-specific mortality was determined using the government regional information and analytical system.
