RESULTS STUDY OF MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE LIGHT-REFLECTIVE PARTS OF THE EYE AND ELEMENTS OF THE EYE FUNDIUS IN ADOLESCENTS WITH TYPE I DIABETES MELLITUS AND MYOPIA

Type 1 diabetes mellitus, insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes (Type 1 diabetes) is an autoimmune disease of the endocrine system, which is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose levels) as a result of insufficient production of the hormone insulin. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus leads to damage and dysfunction of various organs and systems, causing late complications such as macro- and microangiopathies. Macroangiopathies include damage to vessels of large and medium caliber (the morphological basis is atherosclerosis), microangiopathies include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic angiopathy, diabetic polyneuropathy.
