  Purpose: To assess whether degree of glycosylated hemoglobin levels influence peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Methods: A prospective observational cross section study was performed on 110 eyes included 30 eyes of 15 healthy control subjects and 80 eyes of 40 patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic group was divided into two study groups, subgroup 1 with HbA1c that is less than 7% and subgroup 2 with HbA1c that is equal or more than 7%. Full ophthalmic examinations included best-corrected visual acuity, anterior segment evaluation, and intraocular pressure assessment. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) was measured using a spectral-domain OCT (Topcon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Multivariable logistic regression models were .. Read More»
