Metabolic cataracts in diabetic patients usually develop within the first 3 years of the disease and cause little or no visual disability, but may progress to blindness. We report our findings in 3 patients who previously had normal vision and who presented with virtual blindness from cataract formation at the time of detection of their diabetes.
糖尿病患者的代谢性白内障通常在疾病的头3年内发生，很少或不会导致视力残疾，但可能会发展为失明。我们报告了3例患者的情况，这些患者之前视力正常，在被诊断出患有糖尿病时，因白内障形成而几乎失明。
