Popis:	Background Retinal neurodegenerative changes were found to develop in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) before the onset of microvascular changes of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Such changes usually affect inner retinal layers in the form of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning. Aim To correlate the degree of glycemic control [in the form of hemoglobin A1c (HBA1c) levels] with changes in peripapillary RNFL thickness in patients with type 2 DM without DR using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Patients and methods Participants are divided into three groups each including 28 eyes: group 1: uncontrolled type 2 DM without DR (HBA1c≥7%), group 2: controlled type 2 DM without DR (HBA1c
