EVALUATION OF CENTRAL CORNEAL THICKNESS AMONG TYPE 2 DIABETICS AND AGE MATCHED CONTROLS A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Aim: To evaluate central corneal thickness(CCT) among Type 2 diabetics and age matched controls. Materials and Methods: it is a hospital based cross-sectional study having Study period between March 2019 - June 2019, and this study conducted at Govt Regional Eye hospital, Visakhapatnam , having sample size of 200 eyes of 100 individuals. Results: Mean CCT in diabetics were 526.8+/-6.741 and mean cct in non diabetics were 508.8+/-5.027 microns. Conclusion: CCT significantly more in Diabetics compared to non diabetics and further severity of retinopathy does not significantly affect CCT.
