Comparative Study of Central Corneal Thickness in Healthy Individuals and Diabetic Patients with and Without Retinopathy using Pentacam

Abstract

: Background: Precise evaluation of Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) is crucial for both tracking the activity of corneal endothelial cells and detecting corneal disorders including keratoconus and Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy. The aim of this work was to use pentacam to measure CCT and generate CCT maps in diabetic patients with and without retinopathy and contrast those with normal subjects. Patients
