“…These negative feelings may have negative effects on patient reported outcome [14,19]. Vision loss due to diabetes can also affect the person's perception of their ability to function independently [20]. Therefore, it is of outmost importance to target the early stages of DRP to inhibit its progression, to prevent the disease from reaching a level that has severe impact on a person's quality of life [21,22].…”

“…Studies also demonstrated that DR was the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults aged 20-74 years [11] and severely influenced the quality of life in diabetic patients [12]. Previous studies have indicated that DR is more prevalent in patients at an earlier diagnosis Managed by Antonio Secchi.…”

BackgroundPatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may develop color vision impairment. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with impaired color vision in patients with T2DM but without diabetic retinopathy.MethodsEnrolment criteria included multi-ethnic Asian participants, age 21 to 80 years, with known T2DM for a minimum of 2 years. Their diagnoses were affirmed from oral glucose tolerance test results and they were screened for impaired color vision using the Farnsworth D-15 instrument. Demographic characteristics were described and clinical data for the preceding 2 years were analyzed using logistic regression.ResultsTwenty-two percent of 849 eligible participants had impaired color vision with higher involvement of the right eye. Impaired blue-yellow color-vision(Tritanomaly) was the commonest impaired color vision. Participants with impaired color vision were significantly associated with age and lower education; longer duration of T2DM (median 6 years vs 4 years); higher HbA1c level and HDL-Cholesterol in 2nd year; lower mean total cholesterol, mean LDL-Cholesterol and mean triglyceride in 2nd year. They also have poorer vision beyond 6/12 in the affected eye. Logistic regression showed that impaired color vision was associated with older patients (OR=1.04), increased duration of T2DM (OR=1.07); prescription of Tolbutamide (OR=3.79) and lower mean systolic blood pressure (OR=0.98).ConclusionAlmost one in four participants with T2DM had impaired color vision, largely with tritanomaly. Color vision screening may be considered for participants who develop T2DM for 6 years or longer, but this requires further cost-effectiveness evaluation.

Quality of life, impaired vision and social role in people with diabetes: a multicenter observational study

Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy may induce visual impairment. We evaluated vision-related quality-of-life in patients with retinopathy and visual acuity <5/10 in the better eye using the 25-item National Eye
