Abstract

Damage to the lens in diabetes mellitus, i.e. the occurrence of diabetic cataracts, is a serious and serious complication of the underlying disease. Without an understanding of the complex mechanisms that occur in the tissues of the lens against the background of elevated glucose levels, an adequate understanding of the disease is impossible, as well as the choice of effective treatments and prediction of ophthalmopathy. Modern ideas about diabetic cataractogenesis allow us to correctly assess pathological changes in the lens, predict the development of pathology and choose the optimal algorithm for therapeutic measures.
