Corneal Analysis in Patients Presenting with Subjective Eye Complaints; Newly Diagnosed Prediabetic Patients
Abstract
Introduction: Subjective symptoms such as decreased visual quality The aim of this study was to detect possible corneal changes in prediabetic patients presenting with complaints .
Materials and Methods: The study included 56 newly diagnosed prediabetic patients with subjective visual complaints, no optic nerve and retina pathology, emmetropic , no history of trauma , and 70 healthy participants. After detailed anterior segment and Corneal with Sirius ® device Topography was evaluated and compared with HbA1c values.
Results : The mean age of the patients in the prediabetic group was 57.23 ± 8.1 years, while the mean age of the patients in the control group was 60.58±6.74 years (p>0.05). CCT values were 550.00 µ ± 45.00 in the prediabetic group and 553.00 µ± 38 in the control group. MCT was 518.00± 41.00 µ in the prediabetic group and 533.00± 33.00 µ in the control group. Corneal The mean HbAc1 values of the groups were 6.30 ±1.10 in the prediabetic group and 5.20±0.20 in the control group. The mean blood sugar values were 109±26 in the prediabetic group and 91±8 in the control group. The refractive values of the cornea were 43.16 D±1.36 in the prediabetic group, 42.38 D±1.38 in the control group, and 44.15 D±1.50 in the control group, and 43.66 D±1.51 in the control group, respectively . As the HbA1c values increased, the corneal While it was observed that the densitometry values increased, a positive correlation was found between the two values in the statistical evaluation (r=.279**, p=0.002).
Conclusion: Prediabetic status is associated with corneal effects on densitometry and should be considered as a negative factor for the thickness of the cornea. In individuals with subjective visual complaints and no refractive changes, the possibility of prediabetic status b and related corneal changes should be taken into consideration.
