There is a proved relationship between diabetes mellitus and the cataract formation. The incidence of this is usually related to the duration of diabetes. In this manuscript we report a 15 years old female presented to the emergency room with a 4 hour history of rapid bilateral diminished vision, initially diagnosed with idiopathic cataracts, but after more laboratory evaluations revealed new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus without ketosis.
