Refractive Changes in a Newly Diagnosed Diabetic Patients
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate refraction in patients who were recently diagnosed with diabetes and treated at our centre. Methods: This prospective study was performed from august 2015 to December 2016. Patients were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus using laboratory biochemical tests and clinical examination. Venous fasting plasma glucose (fpg) levels were measured along with refractive errors. Two measurements were taken: initially and after four weeks. The last difference between the initial and end refractive measurements were evaluated. Results: Our patients were 50 males and 50 females who had been newly diagnosed with type II DM. The refractive error and fpg levels were measured twice in all patients. The average values of the initial measurements were as follows: fpg level, 405 mg/dl; average refractive value, +2.25 D (Dioptres). The average end of period measurements were fpg, 200 mg/dl; average refractive value, +0.75 D. There is a statistically significant difference between after four weeks measurements with initially measurements of fasting plasma glucose (fpg) levels (p<0.05) and there is a statistically significant relationship between changes in fpg changes with glasses ID (p<0.05) and the disappearance of blurred vision (to be greater than 50% success rate) were statistically significant (p<0.05). Also, were detected upon all these results the absence of any age and sex effects (p>0.05). Conclusions: Refractive error is affected in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus; therefore, plasma glucose levels should be considered in the selection of glasses.
