P 305 Title: Intraocular pressure in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. An epidemiological study

Intraocular pressure in Japanese diabetic patients

BACKGROUND To determine whether the intraocular pressure (IOP) in diabetic patients is significantly different from that in nondiabetic patients. METHODS The medical records of all patients who were initially examined in the Department of Ophthalmology, Kansai Medical University, Takii Hospital were reviewed. At the initial examination, patients had a detailed interview and underwent a compre...

Survey of stressful life events among diabetic and non-diabetic elderly individuals in Rafsanjan, Iran, in 2015

Background: Due to the increasing number of stressful life events among the elderly and the rapid spread of diabetes among them, the present study compared the stressful life events of diabetic elderly with those of non-diabetic elderly. Materials and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on 240 senior citizens of over 60 years of age (120 diabetic patients and 120 n...

Increased Intraocular Pressure and Hyperglycemic Level in Diabetic Patients

PURPOSE To determine whether hyperglycemic levels as determined from high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels influence intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on subjects with a diagnosis of NPDR and a corresponding HbA1c level measured within 90 days before or after an IOP measurement over a two-...

Abnormal intraocular pressure control in systemic hypertension and diabetic mellitus.

Retinal vein obstruction is a common complication of the retinopathy seen in patients with chronic hypertension. Previous studies have shown an abnormal control of intraocular pressure in response to changes of posture in patients with retinal vein obstruction. This paper describes the results of the investigation of the intraocular pressure response in 57 normotensive healthy adults and in 95 ...
