AbstractPurposeTo investigate the association between ocular biometrical parameters and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in ocular treatment naive patients with diabetes.MethodsThis cross-sectional study recruited type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with no history of ocular treatment in Guangzhou, China. The ocular biometrical parameters were obtained by Lenstar, including corneal diameter, central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal curvature (CC), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and axial length (AL). The lens power and axial length-to-cornea radius ratio (AL/CR ratio) were calculated. Spherical equivalent (SE) was determined by auto-refraction after pupil dilation. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the associations of ocular biometry with any DR and vision threatening DR (VTDR).ResultsA total of 1838 patients were included in the final analysis, involving 145 5(79.2%) patients without DR and 383(20.8%) patients with DR. After adjusting confounding factors, any DR was independently associated with AL (OR = 0.84 per 1 mm increase, 95%CI: 0.74, 0.94), lens power (OR = 0.9951 per 1 D increase, 95%CI: 0.9904, 0.9998), and AL/CR ratio (OR = 0.26 per 1 increase, 95%CI: 0.10-0.70). Similarly, the presence of VTDR was independently related to AL (OR = 0.67 per 1 mm increase, 95%CI: 0.54-0.85), lens power (OR = 0.99 per 1 D increase, 95%CI: 0.98, 0.997), and AL/CR ratio (OR = 0.04 per 1 increase, 95%CI: 0.01, 0.25). The CC, corneal diameter, and refractive status were not significantly correlated with presence of DR or VTDR.ConclusionLonger AL, deeper ACD, higher lens power, and higher AL/CR ratio may be protective factors against DR. Considering the high prevalence of myopia in the Chinese juvenile population, it is worth paying attention to how the incidence of DR in this generation may change over time.

Background and Aim: Diabetes has emerged as an important global health concern because of itsvarious adverse effects on the ocular tissue. The present study was done to study the correlationbetween type 2 diabetes mellitus and central corneal thickness in patients coming to the tertiarycare institute of Gujarat, India. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted over 1year at the tertiary care institute of Gujarat, India.50 patients with type 2 diabetes mellituspreviously diagnosed by a physician on treatment and 50 age-matched controls who are non-diabetics on history and blood sugar levels were enrolled. The central corneal thickness wasmeasured using an ultrasound pachymeter using multiple reading single point modes by a singleperson. Results: The mean central corneal thickness in diabetics was 565 ± 21 micrometres and innon-diabetics was 517 ± 20 micrometres. The central corneal thickness was found to be higher inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus when compared to non-diabetics. Conclusion: Patients withtype 2 diabetes mellitus were found to have thicker corneas as compared to non-diabetics. Thisshould take into consideration while interpreting intraocular pressure and before any refractivesurgeries in diabetics.

To determine association between central corneal thickness and type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients attending outpatient department of Ophthalmology at a tertiary care centre in North Karnataka.This is a cross-sectional study conducted over a period of April 2018 – September 2020 on patients attending outpatient department of Ophthalmology at a tertiary care centre in North Karnataka. Study includes 168 subjects divided into 3 groups: 40 diabetics whose duration >10 years46 diabetics whose duration ≤10 yearsand 82 controls.Detailed ophthalmic examination was conducted in all patients and central corneal thickness was measured using ultrasound pachymetry. A statistically significant difference was found between mean central corneal thickness of diabetics (534.0581µ - right eye; 534.3605µ - left eye) and non-diabetics (525.8659µ - right eye; 525.8659µ - left eye); p value <0.05. Association between central corneal thickness and age, gender, laterality and duration of diabetes were not statistically significant. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have thicker corneas as compared to non-diabetics. Henceforth, it is important to measure central corneal thickness in all diabetics, as it affects IOP measurement which is vital for early diagnosis and timely treatment of glaucoma.
