The purpose of this study is to compare corneal endothelium morphology and central thickness in type II Diabetes Mellitus and normal subjects with special reference to glycemic status.
Diabetes might influence the health of the corneal endothelium. Older studies have presented different results and the glycemic status of the patients have not been reported. In this study we examine the corneal endothelium morphology and central thickness in type II Diabetes Mellitus and normal subjects with modern specular microscopy. Each patient and control is examined once ("entry to study").

RECRUITINGCorneal endothelium cell number
The study is a cross-sectional study. We compare a cohort of patients with DM to a cohort with no DM. We examine each patient and control once. We call time of appointment or examination for "at entry to study".
Time frame: 1 year
Corneal endothelium morphology
The size and hexagonality of the cells are analysed automaticly by computer recognizion.
