Comparison of Central Corneal Thickness In between Well Controlled Type 2 Diabetic Individuals versus Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetic Individuals - A Comparative Study
Namballa Lakshmisree, Savara Pavan Kumar, Areeba Ansari
Abstract: Variations in central corneal thickness, whether thicker or thinner, can result in the overestimation or underestimation of intraocular pressure, a key modifiable risk factor for glaucoma. However, research on the relationships between diabetes, random glucose levels, and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) with central corneal thickness (CCT) remains inconsistent. This study was conducted to evaluate the corneal thickness changes in between the uncontrolled diabetic patients and controlled diabetic patients. In this hospital based observational cross sectional study enrolled samples were 512 with equal number of sample size in each group (Controlled Diabetic eyes = 256 and Uncontrolled Diabetic eyes = 256). Participants were classified as having controlled diabetes if they were HbA1c level less than 7%, indicating good glycaemic control and having uncontrolled or poor diabetic control if they were HbA1C level equal to or greater than 7%. All subjects underwent FBS PPBS HbA1C & full ophthalmic examination. The participants with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus had higher CCT in as compared to patients with controlled status of diabetes mellitus. Although diabetics had thicker corneas, the CCT values did not show any significant change between well controlled & uncontrolled type 2 diabetic patients. CCT is an important parameter for refractive surgery and estimating IOP.
