In total, 391 eyes of 391 patients who developed POE after cataract surgery were studied. Patients with POE were divided into Group A, patients with diabetes (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 128), and Group B, patients without diabetes (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 263), and the associations of various clinical factors in the two groups were studied. Patients with diabetes with raised random blood sugars (RBS) preoperatively were subjected to a rapid reduction of blood sugar (RBS &lt;200 mg%) to be considered eligible for surgery.
