Abstract
Diabetes mellitus affects around 240 million people globally and it is projected to rise about 370 million by 2030. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the orbital and anterior segment orbital manifestation among 91 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients for ocular and general examination. The distribution of symptoms was cataract (71%), blepharitis (24%), dry eye (24%), mucormycosis (12%), cranial nerve palsies at 11%, recurrent changes in refraction (10%), primary open-angle glaucoma (5%), recurrent stye (4%), corneal ulcer (3%), iridocyclitis (3%), orbital cellulitis (2%), rubeosis iridis (1%) and neovascular glaucoma (1%) respectively. Thus, effective diabetes management should encompass patient counseling, nutritional guidance, lifestyle modifications, stringent blood glucose control and evaluation of treatment effectiveness and adherence.
