A Study of Corneal Thickness in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with and without Diabetic Retinopathy

Background: It is essential to assess the corneal thickness in diabetes patient. Introduction: diabetes mellitus is a major cause of blindness throughout the worldDiabetic retinopathy is the most importance given on day to day basics studies especially for ophthalmologist studied indicators in eye. However, functional oddities have been recognised in cornea too like changes in central corneal thickness. Objectives: 1. To estimate the central corneal thickness (CCT) of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without diabetic retinopathy age/sex matched normal people. 2. To measure central corneal thickness (CCT) of type 2 diabetes mellitus patient with diabetic retinopathy with age/ sex matched normal person. Methods: This is a hospital based case control study. Expected Results: The central corneal thickness is more in type 2 diabetes patients than non-diabetic individual.
