ABSTRACT

Diabetes Mellitus, a frequent disease worldwide, has a great impact on the society, not only for their high prevalence, but for their chronic complications and high mortality. It has an effect on 180 million people approximately in the world. The prevalence of diabetes (type I and II) is estimated to be 13 % in patients older than 60 years. The corneal structure undergoes changes in diabetic patients; the hyperglycemia affects the corneal hydration and causes variations in the corneal thickness, with occurrence of visible keratometric changes detected in the corneal topography. The corneas of diabetic patients show epithelial, stromal and endothelial alterations. Additionally, there is decrease in endothelial permeability during the phase of hypoxia that relate these effects of diabetes in the endothelial cells. The objective of our study was to deal with the different corneal alterations in diabetic patients.
