Abstract
Background- To determine whether hyperglycemic levels as determined from high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels inuence intraocular
pressure (IOP) in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Methods-Across sectional Study was performed on subjects with a
diagnosis of NPDR and a corresponding HbA1c level measured within 90 days before or after an IOP measurement. Exclusion criteria included a
diagnosis of glaucoma or treatment with IOP lowering medications or oral or topical steroids. Results- Mean Hb1Ac in low IOP patients(<14.5)
was 8.67±2.14% and high IOP patients was (>14.5) was 9.12±3.02%. Conclusion- In conclusion our ndings in this study showed that diabetic
subjects with elevated HbA1c levels exhibited signicantly higher IOPs compared to those with lower HbA1c levels.
