Abstract EN
Purpose.
To assess an effect of glycemic control on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods.
Thirty-eight eyes of 38 patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing blood glucose regulation were enrolled.
All patients were examined at (1) initial visit, (2) 1 month, (3) 2 months, and (4) 4-month after the initial examination.
On each occasion, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning for RNFL thickness were evaluated.
360 degree circular OCT scans with a diameter of 3.4 mm centered on the optic disc were performed.
Results.
Significant RNFL decrease was seen in the superior area between initial and 4 months examination (P=.043).
The relationship between the changes in HbA1c and the changes in RNFL thickness was observed in superior, temporal, and inferior area (P<.05) at 4 months.
Conclusions.
This study suggests that the glycemic control affects RNFL within 4 months.
