Introduction: Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) affects measurement of Intraocular Pressure (IOP) using Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT). Variation in CCT with blood sugar levels in diabetics could affect IOP measurement and subsequent glaucoma management. CCT has been described to vary with glycaemic levels in diabetics but variation in CCT in the same individuals with variation in the blood sugar levels has not been adequately described. Aim: To study for changes in CCT in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (Ty2DM) during hyperglycaemic blood sugar levels in comparison to euglycaemic blood sugar levels and to look for co-relation if any between changes in blood sugar levels and CCT. Materials and Methods: This was a non-interventional crosssectional observational study. Ty2DM patients with Post-Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) ≥200 mg/dL underwent CCT measurements using optical biometry. CCT was re-measured a month later when they returned for repeat PPBS estimations. Those patients achieving PPBS values |
