Comparison of refraction between diabetic and non-diabetic mothers’ children .
Abstract
PURPOSE: To compare the visual status between diabetic and non-diabetic mother’s children.
STUDY DESIGN: Comparative Cross sectional, analytical study. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Method: Refraction of 100 eyes of 50 patients (25 diabetic mother’s child and 25 non-diabetic mother’s child) visiting Mayo Hospital Lahore and College of Ophthalmology and Allied Vision Sciences (COAVS) Lahore. The parameters compared were spherical, cylindrical and contrast sensitivity value of children of diabetic mothers and those of non-diabetic mothers. Confidence level of 0.95 with α of 0.05 was taken.
RESULTS: The mean spherical correction value was -1.0102 ± 1.49213 D (SE. 0.21316) and -1.2800 ± 1.98761 D (SE. 0.28109), The mean cylindrical value in non-diabetic and diabetic mother’s child was -1.0950 ± 0.88625 D (SE. 0.12533) and -1.3650 ± 0.83789 D (SE. 0.11850), The mean contrast sensitivity in non-diabetic and diabetic mother’s child was 3 ± 1.0102% (SE. 0.1429) or -1.52 log unit and 3.6 ± 1.2536% or -1.44 log unit (SE. 0.1773) in non-diabetic and diabetic mother’s child respectively. Mann Whitney-U test showed little or no statistically significant difference of sphere (p= 0.053) and cylinder (p= 0.05) but shows marked difference in contrast sensitivity value (p= 0.01) between diabetic and non-diabetic mother’s children.Â
CONCLUSION:Â Â Â There was no significant difference of sphere (p= 0.053) and cylinder (p= 0.05), but shows marked difference in contrast sensitivity value (p= 0.01) between those who diabetic and non-diabetic children.
