| Summary: | Aims and Objectives:
This study investigates the correlation of type 2 diabetes mellitus with corneal endothelial cells and central corneal thickness (CCT).
Material and Methods:
Using a sample of 311 diabetic and 500 nondiabetic participants, we analyzed endothelial cell density (ECD), cell size variation (CV), hexagonality, and CCT.
Results:
Diabetic patients exhibited significantly reduced ECD and hexagonality, with increased CV and CCT compared to controls, particularly in cases of long-standing diabetes (≥10 years) and elevated glycated hemoglobin levels (≥7%).
Conclusion:
The study highlights the need for routine corneal assessments in diabetic care to prevent complications. |
