- Objective: This research aimed at comparing (central corneal thickness) between those patients having non-diabetics & diabetic retinopathy. Methods: We held a cross-sectional research at Allied Hospital, Faisalabad from October 2016 to November 2017 on 150 patients of different ages were finalized for research. To calculate CCT, an (ultrasound pachymeter) was used. Two groups of each 75 patients for a sample in which 1 group was with (diabetic retinopathy) & other with (non-diabetic) patients. Results: Patients with diabetes have the average (central corneal thickness) having value (554.93 ± 33.73) microns & it was (520.41 ± 26.06) microns with non-diabetic patients. Patients with diabetic demonstrated enhanced (central corneal thickness) in comparison with (non-diabetics) & result was significant statistically as p = 0.001. Conclusion: Patients with diabetic demonstrated enhanced (central corneal thickness) in comparison with (non-diabetic patients). Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy, Diabetes mellitus, Central corneal thickness.
