Abstract:Background: Diabetic retinopathy, the most common retinal vascular disease, is the leading cause of new-blindness in adults during the third through sixth decades of life.
Purpose:To determine the correlation between central macular thickness (CMT) and both HbA1c and fasting serum lipids level in early stage non proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Results:The patients were divided into two groups as HbA1c >8.67% (Group I, n: 60) and HbA1c ≤8.67% (Group II, n: 72). The mean CMT of better eyes was 273.28±34.61 µ… Show more
