Deleterious Impact of Non-Diabetic Cataract Surgery on the Values of Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress and Metabolic Syndrome in Kinshasa

Abstract

Study Background and Purpose: Cataract is considered a structural marker of systemic metabolic disorders. Its association with metabolic syndrome (MS) and oxidative stress has only been well established in diabetic patients. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of non-diabetic cataract surgery on biomarkers of SM and oxidative stress according to the pre-post operative phases.
