| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate corneal thickness in diabetic and nondiabetic
patients.
Materials and methods: The central corneal
thickness (CCT) was investigated in 100 eyes of 100
patients with diabetes type I and in 99 nondiabetic
patients (99 eyes). The mean diabetic patients age was
15.31±3.18 years. The mean age in control group was
14.3±2.2 years. Corneal thickness was measured by
non-contact microscope Topcon SP-2000P. Statistical
analysis was performed to assess systemic factors (patient
age, sex, duration of diabetes mellitus, hemoglobin A1c
value, diabetes control) related to CCT. SAS STAT (Release
8.2) program, the independent t-test, Kolmogorow-Smirnow
test and Bartlett test were used to compare differences
between the diabetic and control group.
Results: In our study the mean CCT in diabetic
eyes was 0.54±0.03 mm and was significantly increased,
compared to control group (0.525±0.037 mm). None of
systemic factors was correlated with CCT.
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that diabetes
mellitus affects thickness of cornea in adolescents.
Evaluation of endothelium in specular microscope should
be performed in the diabetic patients. |
