Abstract
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is one of the most common genetic neuromuscular diseases in adults. The disease not only affects the musculoskeletal system, but is multisystemic, and ocular involvement with cataract formation is a frequent additional finding. To avoid recurrence of secondary opacification that is difficult to treat, the cataract should not be treated with traditional lens replacement. This clinical review article presents ophthalmological findings in cases of myotonic dystrophy type 1 and describes a new surgical method for cataracts in this patient group.
