Abstract

Sharp vision is a major concern in cataract cases. Sharp improvement in vision is the expected outcome of the management of cataract cases, namely by operative measures. Before surgery, there are several ophthalmological examinations that must be performed. Quantitative instruments have been developed to determine the visual potential of eyes that experience turbidity of refractive media. One examination that can be done is a retinometry examination that is the examination of the sharp potential of vision with a retinometer. Retinometry is a process of measuring sharp eyes using a retinometer to determine the potential for sharp eyesight. Retinometer is one tool that uses the principle of interference fringes to assess the patient's sharp vision through a cloudy lens. On a retinometer, a light source is split into two rays which then enter the least turbid lens area so that interference grating is formed on the retina. The lattice can have a vertical, horizontal or oblique meridian orientation

Abstract

Abstract Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) have a direct effect to retinal neural tissue. Diabetic retinopathy slowly proggress with reserved visual acuity and no symptoms in early stage. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness significantly decrease in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients related to glycemic blood level. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between HbA1c level and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in diabetic retinopathy patients. Methods: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted in RSUP dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang from October 2017 until March 2018. Sixty eight type 2 diabetes mellitus patients consist of various grade of diabetic retinopathy. Measurement of HbA1c level was performed on these samples and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Results: There is a significant relationship between duration of DM with RNFL thickness (p = 0,002). There is a significant relationship between hypertension with RNFL thickness (p = 0,007). There is a significant relationship between HbA1c level with RNFL thickness in all quadrants (superior, nasal, inferior quadrants p = 0,000, temporal quadrant p = 0,011). The most important factor of RNFL thinning in superior, nasal and inferior quadrants is HbA1c level (superior and nasal adjusted p value 0,002, inferior adjusted p value 0,002) while in temporal quadrant is hypertension (adjusted p value 0,042). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between HbA1c level with RNFL thickness in all quadrants in which the patients with HbA1c > 7% have a higher risk of thinner RNFL compared to patients with HbA1c ≤ 7%.
