Popis:	BACKGROUND Slowly progressive auto-degenerative neuropathy and changes of the optic nerve are well known in Open angle glaucoma. Glycaemic conditions in the body importantly may effect these damages, mutually or independent of the associated ocular pathology. An objective parameter if established for determining the correlation of the both would assist to set up proper ways of diagnosis and management of patients with Diabetics with POAG. The aim of this study is to evaluate the optic nerve head (ONH) parameters of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with and without diabetes and to investigate the effect of the metabolic control of diabetes on ONH topography. MATERIALS AND METHODS A study group of 61 eyes of 61 POAG patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a control group of 61 eyes of 61 POAG patients without diabetes were recruited for the study. Complete ophthalmic examinations of all patients were performed and the quantitative optic disc parameters were evaluated with HbA1c measurements of diabetic patients. RESULTS Mean RNFL thickness of the study group was statistically lower than the control group (P
