Popis: A tertiary care center-based prospective case–control study was undertaken to evaluate the association of contrast sensitivity with LogMAR visual acuity and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in 205 cases of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and 115 controls. LogMAR visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were scored using ETDRS and Pelli-Robson charts, respectively. Bivariate correlation between contrast sensitivity and LogMAR visual acuity showed significant inverse correlation in cases without retinopathy (r = −0.466) and with non-proliferative retinopathy (r = −0.307). In a multivariate model, on applying linear regression analysis, LogMAR visual acuity (p
