Today the incidence of diabetes mellitus is increasing devastatingly, and cataracts are one of the most common causes of visual impairment. Advances in cataract surgery techniques and instruments have generally improved outcomes. However, surgery may not be safe or effective for certain people with preexisting retinal disease or vision loss. Functional vision is essential in our everyday vision. Different tasks in our daily life use different parts of the visual system, which reflects our perspective in real-world situations where we need to see both small, high-contrast and large, low-contrast images. This review article addresses different aspects related to cataracts in people with diabetes. Most cataracts are caused by the aging of the eye lens, which continues to grow throughout life as new lens fibers continue to be laid down in the lens of the eye rather than replacing existing ones. It is maintained by many interdependent factors that contribute to optical homogeneity.
