Dr. Nitin Bhalchandra Joshi, Dr. Suhas Shripad Kulkarni

Abstract :

Objective: We aimed to observe changes in refractive errors in diabetic patients during diabetic treatment. Methods: 150 diabetic patients attending private eye clinic were included in this study. Three groups of 50 patients each of normal, moderate and high F–BSL were formed. Fasting plasma glucose (F–BSL) levels were measured along with refractive errors. Two measurements were taken, initially and after four weeks. Results: 1st visit F–BSL 238.75 ± 34.1 mg/dl reduces to 112 ± 15.9 mg/dl after 4 weeks .This is statistically significant ( P<0.05). 1st visit refraction –2.46 ± 3.27 D changes to –0.52 ± 2.54 D on hyperopic side. This is also statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions: During anti–diabetic treatment Refractive error changes are seen in patients with high plasma glucose levels over the period of 1 month.
