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.
