Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and glaucoma are two chronic disorders that independently affect the eye and are potential causes of vision impairment and blindness. DM, being a micro-vasculopathy and metabolic condition, affects the functioning of cells, including the retinal ganglion cells (RGC). The association between epidemiology of primary open-angle glaucoma is not well understood. The relationship between DM and secondary open-angle glaucoma is not thoroughly investigated. Neovascular glaucoma is an important complication of diabetic retinopathy, especially with proliferative type. DM also seems to influence the biomechanical properties of the cornea, and affect the measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP). Clinical control of DM has been related to the progression and surgical outcomes of glaucoma. IOP lowering drugs influence the blood glucose level; conversely, oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin affect IOP.
