Eye problem since born..
I'm ffrom Bangladesh. My younger brother (16) had cataract in both eyes when he was born. Cataract surgery was taken place in Madras in 2002-03.. He is using a glass (+11) now. He can see without glass but can't read without very close observation.
For further mentioning, he has diabetes (8.6) & also using hearing instrument.
Now I need a suggestion for the better treatment for my beloved brother.
Very eagerly waiting for reply.

at that time they might have not implanted the iol .but now you can get the iol implanted. offcourse the diabetes has to be under control hba1c 8.6 means his diabetes is not under control. please increase the dose of insulin with the advice of your physcian. diabetes control and reglar retina evaluation is must for his smooth life otherwise in later stage of his life he may face problems.
