Abstract

Purpose: To search whether there is any abnormality in tear film functions in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Methods: Eighty-six patients with type II diabetes mellitus were compared with a group of non-diabetic healthy controls comparable in number, age and sex. A general ophthalmological check-up was performed. Schirmer's test, tear film break-up time test (BUT) and mucus fern test (MET) were employed in both eyes of the subjects. Results: Age and sex distributions in the groups were similar (p>0.05). A BUT value lower than 10 sec. was found in 33.13 % of the diabetics and 21.12 % of the healthy controls. Schirmer's test lower than 10mm was observed in 37.79 % of the diabetics and in 28.87 % of the healthy controls. Pathologic MFT scores (grade III-IV) were found in 44.76 % of the diabetics and in 33.80 % of the healthy controls. There was no significant difference between the two groups in three tear function tests (Chi-square test, p>0.05). Mean values in the Schirmer's test were 13.13 ± 7.72 mm for diabetics and 14.36±7.94 mm for the controls (Student t test, p>0.05). Mean values in the BUT were 12.93±5.45 sec. for diabetics and 13.63±5.09 sec. for controls (p>0.05). MFT test was no significant difference between the two groups (Chi-square test, p>0.05). Conclusion: Although the tear film function test abnormalities were higher in diabetics, no significant difference was found between the two groups.

Özet

Amaç: Tip II diabetes mellituslu hastalarda göz yaşı film fonksiyonlarında herhangi bir anormallik olup olmadığını araştırmak. Yöntem: Tip II diabetes mellituslu 86 hasta diabetik olmayan sağlıklı kontrollerle karşılaştırıldı. Genel bir oftalmolojik muayene yapıldı. Çalışmaya katılanların her iki gözüne Schirmer test, göz yaşı kırılma zamanı ve mukus fern testi yapıldı. Bulgular: Yaş ve cinsiyet yönünden iki grup benzer idi. Göz yaşı kırılma zamanı diabetiklerin %33.13'ünde, sağlıklı kontrollerin ise %21.12'sinde 10 sn altında bulundu. Schirmer testi diabetiklerin %37.79'unda sağlıklı kontrollerin ise %28.87'sinde 10 mm'nin altında idi. Patolojik MFT skorları (grade III-IV) diabetiklerin %44.76'sında, kontrollerin %33.80'inde saptandı. Gruplar arasında her üç testte de istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık saptanamadı (Ki-kare testi, p>0.05). Schirmer test ortalaması diabetikler için 13.13±7.72mm, kontroller için 14.36±7.94mm olarak bulundu (Student t testi, p>0.05). Göz yaşı kırılma zamanı ortalaması diabetikler için 12.93±5.45 sn, kontroller için 13.63±5.09 sn idi (Student t testi, p>0.05). Mukus fern testi de her iki grupta istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (Ki-kare testi, p>0.05). Sonuç: Göz yaşı film fonksiyon anormallikleri diabetiklerde daha fazla olduğu halde iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunamadı.
