Abstract

The study's objective was to evaluate the correlation between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).The study was conducted on 180 patients. One hundred ten were included in Group A after being diagnosed with T2DM. Seventy subjects diagnosed with POAG and without T2DM were included in Group B. Examination of the anterior segment, funduscopic evaluation, Optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination, and measurement of Central corneal thickness (CCT) and Intraocular pressure (IOP)were done. The International Society of Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology criteria was used for defining glaucoma. American Diabetes Association criteria were followed for defining diabetes. A total of 180 patients were included in the study. The total participants were further divided into three subgroups (Group A and Group B were major groups): Group I- subjects with T2DM (80, 44.4%), Group II- subjects with glaucoma and T2DM (30, 16.6%), and Group III- subjects with POAG and without T2DM (70,39%). The study did not confirm the association between glaucoma and T2DM (P=0.000). The mean IOP in Group A and B was 15.76 ± 3.09 mm Hg and 18.36 ±4.38 mm Hg, respectively. The mean CCT in Group A was 539.73±23.7 µm while in Group B was 532.16 ±20.8 µm. Thus, this study could not confirm the association between glaucoma and Type 2 DM.
