Abstract

This article reports on changes in lenses of diabetics, detected by means of Scheimpflug photos. Diabetics aged between 20 and 70 have been undergoing regular ophthalmogical check-ups for 26 months. Linear densitometry of negatives revealed an increase in light scatter at the anterior adjacent clear zone of disjunction (areas 1,2) and the anterior cortex (areas 3,4) in clinically clear lenses over the 26-month period. This change in light scatter is not related to the age of the patients; it is correlated to the duration of diabetes and fasting blood sugar.
