- Abstract
Purpose: To compare the higher-order corneal aberrations of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) children who have well controlled glucose level with healthy children of similar age and gender. Methods: After performing a complete ophthalmological examination of children with Type 1 DM (DM group) and similar age-matched healthy controls (Control group), higher order corneal aberration values [coma, trefoil, spherical aberration, higher order root mean square (RMS), total RMS] were measured by Pentacam HR (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). Results: There were 52 patients (29 males, 23 females) in the DM group and 39 (20 males, 19 females) volunteers in the control group. In the DM group, the mean preprandial blood glucose level was 86.4 ± 8.2 mg/dl and the mean HbA1c value was 5.2 ± 0.75%. The mean age of the DM group was 12,64 ± 3,75 years while it was 11,94 ± 4,09 years in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in age and gender between the two groups (p = 0.745, p = 0.364 respectively). No statistically significant differences were found between the groups according to higher order corneal aberrations [coma, trefoil, spherical aberration, high order root mean square (RMS), total RMS] (p=0,415, p=0,690, p=0,642,p=0,0840, p=0,647, for each one). Conclusion: Higher order aberrations of the cornea do not change in children whose blood glucose levels are well controlled.
