Retinopathy and Intraocular Pressure in Diabetic Children

Retinopathy and Intraocular Pressure in Diabetic Children 40 diabetic children, ranging in age from 7 to 18 years, were examined with fluorescein angiography. 31 of them also underwent applanation tonometry. In 45% of the children a diabetic retinopathy was demonstrated on the angiograms. This retinopathy appeared to be progressive during a follow-up period of 1–3 years. The diabetic children without retinopathy had an intraocular pressure which was equal to that of a control group of 25 nondiabetic children. However, the diabetic children who developed retinopathy had a significant (p < 0.01) elevation of their intraocular pressure. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Ophthalmologica Karger

Abstract

40 diabetic children, ranging in age from 7 to 18 years, were examined with fluorescein angiography. 31 of them also underwent applanation tonometry. In 45% of the children a diabetic retinopathy was demonstrated on the angiograms. This retinopathy appeared to be progressive during a follow-up period of 1–3 years. The diabetic children without retinopathy had an intraocular pressure which was equal to that of a control group of 25 nondiabetic children. However, the diabetic children who developed retinopathy had a significant (p < 0.01) elevation of their intraocular pressure.
