Abstract
Objective: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing globally and a range of ocular conditions with
sight threatening complications due to diabetes are known to occur. Aim of this study is to evaluate diabetes
related ocular changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a tertiary care hospital.
Design: Observational study.
Materials and Methods: Study was conducted with a total number of 90 patients with Type 2 diabetes
mellitus in a tertiary care hospital. Patients aged 40 to 70 years with duration of diabetes mellitus of more
than 5 years were included. They underwent a detailed fundus examination and ocular evaluation which
included refraction, Schirmer’s test, corneal sensitivity, Applanation tonometry, gonioscopy along with
systemic investigations and the observed findings were recorded.
Results: It was noted that among the study population, majority of them (42.2%) were in the age
group between 51-60 years and men (54.4%) were more in number than females (45.5%). Diabetic
retinopathy was the most common ocular manifestation (47.7%) followed by cataract (44.4%), cranial
nerve palsy(16.6%) and glaucoma (16.6%).
Conclusion: These ocular findings suggest that regular screening and eye examinations of diabetic patients
is mandatory to reduce the burden of visual impairment.
Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Diabetic eye diseases, Diabetic retinopathy, Ocular manifestation.
