Corneal Sensitivity and Control of Diabetes

Corneal Sensitivity and Control of Diabetes Subnormal corneal sensitivity has been reported previously in patients with diabetes mellitus, but is of uncertain etiology. In the present study, corneal sensitivity was measured in 18 experimentally diabetic dogs and 10 normal dogs of similar ages, using a Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer. Half of the 18 diabetic dogs were kept chronically hyperglycemic and glucosuric, whereas the prospective control of diabetes in the other half was intentionally better. Corneal sensitivity was found to be significantly less in the chronically glucosuric group than in the nondiabetic ( http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Cornea Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Subnormal corneal sensitivity has been reported previously in patients with diabetes mellitus, but is of uncertain etiology.

Half of the 18 diabetic dogs were kept chronically hyperglycemic and glucosuric, whereas the prospective control of diabetes in the other half was intentionally better. Corneal sensitivity was found to be significantly less in the chronically glucosuric group than in the nondiabetic (
