Abstract
BACKGROUND To estimate Central macular thickness (CMV), Total macular thickness (TMV) in diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy (DR) & compare them with nondiabetic patients & correlate with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) level. METHOD In this cross-sectional study, Spectral domain Optical coherence Tomography measurements were taken in 80 subjects with diabetes (>10 years' duration) and 80 controls. The Data of central macular thickness, total macular volume and glycosylated haemoglobin levels were compared in both groups and were presented using frequency, percentage and mean + SD.
