    The corneal thickness and endothelium of 81 juvenile diabetics were measured and photographed using pachometry and specular microscopy. The corneal thickness of diabetics without retinopathy, with retinopathy, and a normal group were 0.544 mm, 0.566 mm, and 0.527 mm respectively, with thicker corneas correlated to more advanced diabetes. Minute folds in the endothelium were found in 13 diabetics versus 1 normal person. While cell density and dystrophic changes did not differ, the increased corneal thickness in diabetics is thought to represent early corneal swelling, one of the earliest detectable eye changes in diabetes.

    Clinical observations on the corneal thickness and the corneal endothelium in diabetes mellitus.

    1. N Busted, 2. T Olsen and 3. O Schmitz

    Abstract
    The corneal thickness was measured by pachometry and the corneal endothelium was photographed by specular microscopy in 81 insulin-dependent juvenile diabetic outpatients. The corneal thickness of a normal group, diabetics without and with proliferative retinopathy was (mean +/- SD): 0.527 +/- 0.028, 0.544 +/- 0.028, and 0.566 +/- 0.027 mm, respectively (2p less than 0.01). As revealed in the specular photomicrographs, minute folds in the endothelial layer were found in 13 of the diabetics versus 1 of the normal group (2p less than 0.01). The cell density and the occurrence of dystrophic changes in the endothelium did not differ from those in normal persons. The augmented corneal thickness in the diabetic subjects is tentatively interpreted as minimal corneal swelling. It seemed to be present very early in the disease and may thus be one of the earliest clinically detectable changes off the diabetic eye.
