Implication

Clinical study estimates dry eye prevalence in diabetic patients, linking it with age and glycemic control.

Key Points

  • This study aims to estimate dry eye prevalence and ocular surface changes in diabetic patients while examining the relationship with age and diabetes duration.
  • Hospital based clinical study of 100 diabetic patients from November 2019 to November 2020.
  • Assessment via slit lamp biomicroscopy, Schirmer's test, and questionnaire for dry eye symptoms.
  • Ophthalmoscopy to evaluate diabetic retinopathy.
  • 59% of patients had dry eye; 100% in type I and 58.16% in type II diabetes.
  • Significant correlation between dry eye and uncontrolled glycemic levels (P < 0.001).
  • Retinopathy seen in 100% of type I and 9.18% of type II, showing a significant association with dry eyes (P < 0.001).
