Correlation between type 2 diabetes mellitus and corneal dysfunction

Globally, diabetes has emerged as an important health concern because of various adverse events on the ocular tissue and other parts of human body. The present study was conducted to determine the correlation between type 2 DM and corneal thickness in Basrah province. One year at the Department of Ophthalmology, fifty individuals with type 2 DM on medical treatment and 25 healthy control non-diabetics subjects were enrolled. The central corneal thickness was measured using an anterior segment tomography. Male were 53% and female were 47%. Though male with DM were 56% and 48% were non-diabetic. While female DM were 44% and 52% were non-diabetic. There was no significant difference. About 24% aged below forty, whereas 76% were aged above forty, without significant. The DM patients have high mean CCT (549±23 µ) than non-diabetic subjects (501±18 µ), with a high statistical difference (P= 0.049). The central corneal thickness was found to be higher in patients with type 2 DM when compared to non-diabetics. Individuals with type 2 DM have thicker corneas as compared to non-diabetics. Taking into consideration while interpreting intraocular pressure and before any refractive surgeries in diabetic patients the thickness of corneas.
