Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus cause wide spectrum of ophthalmic complications including cataract and glaucoma. Pseudo exfoliation (PEX), although it is an age related,can lead to the development of glaucoma (secondary open angle glaucoma), but the exact mechanism is not well understood, and was described to be associated with different causes like ethnic, genetic, environmental and other organic causes, and a controversy exist about its relation  with diabetes mellitus. Aim: To the impact or the association of state of diabetes mellitus with psudoexfoliation (PEX) and open angle glaucoma (OAG). Methodology: This is an observational descriptive cross sectional, case control study included; 214 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients aged 45–72 years, and 214 as control non diabetic persons attending The Specialized Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes – Baghdad, the capital of Iraq between May2020– Jan 2021. Results: Of the 214 diabetic patients 66 (30.84%) were having PEX, versus 12(5.6%), in the control group, with p value < 0,001, and of these 66 patients 44(67.5%) were females and 22 (32.5%) males with ratio 2:1, p value non-significant. Mean age for PEX group was 40.36 ± 4.2 SD, versus 52.43±3.2 SD in non-PEX, with significant p value.
