    Open-angle glaucoma in diabetics does not appear to be more severe than in non-diabetics. This study found no significant difference in the evolution of this common eye condition between diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Diabetology

    Context:

    • Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma.
    • Diabetes mellitus is a known risk factor for developing glaucoma.
    • Previous literature suggests a potentially more severe evolution of glaucoma in diabetic patients.

    Purpose:

    • To compare the clinical evolution of open-angle glaucoma between diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
    • To investigate if diabetes influences the progression of open-angle glaucoma under treatment.

    Summary:

    • A retrospective study analyzed 72 patients with open-angle glaucoma, comparing diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.
    • Ophthalmologic examinations, including tonometry, funduscopy, and perimetry, were conducted.
    • The mean follow-up period was 2 years, with assessments every four months post-treatment (surgical or medical).

    Impact:

    • The study's findings indicate that open-angle glaucoma evolution in diabetic patients is not significantly different from that in the general population.
    • This research challenges previous assumptions about the severity of glaucoma in diabetics.
    • Results suggest that current treatment strategies may be equally effective for both groups.
