Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 28
Abstract
[b] INTRODUCTION[/b]: Intraocular pressure constitutes the most important risk factor for the emergence of glaucoma. Diabetes has been associated with raised intraocular pressure. It is an important ocular risk factor associated with the occurrence of retinopathy, certain types of lens opacification (cataract), intraocular pressure increase and also open angle glaucoma during its course. The main objective of this study is to study variation in Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) in normal subjects and subjects with diabetes. [b]METHODS:[/b] 60 subjects, aged between 40-70 years, were equally divided into study group and control group. Their IOP was recorded using standard procedure after obtaining their informed consent [b]RESULTS: [/b]The mean IOP in diabetic group in Right and Left eyes showed an increase in IOP of 0. 61 and 0. 37 mm Hg when compared with the non-diabetic (control) group. [b]CONCLUSION:[/b] With this study, we conclude that the mean IOP in diabetic subjects showed a marginal increase when compared with non-diabetic subjects.
