Abstract :

The aim of this study is to analyze decreasing corneal sensitivity in non insulin dependent diabetic patients. This study was cross sectional and performed in out-patient clinic Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya from March until June 2009. Subjects were divided in 4 groups: without Diabetes Mellitus (DM), DM without retinopathy, DM with Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR), and DM with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR). Corneal sensitivity was measured using Cohcet Bonnet aesthesiometry. Retinopathywas recorded in fundal photograph. HbA1C level was measured to assess hyperglycemia control. Relationship of corneal sensitivity, diabetic retinopathy, and HbA1C level were analyzed using regression test. There were 42 patients enrolled in this study. Each group had 10 subjects (23.8%), except NPDR group had 12 subjects (28.57%). There was decreased corneal sensitivity in diabetic patients (p RE = 0.004, p LE = 0.01; regression test). In conclusion, there is influence of level of HbA1C in diabetes mellitus type II patients on decreased corneal sensitivity
