Abstract

Ophthalmopathology in the patients suffering from diabetes mellitus is one of the main causes of impaired vision and blindness all over the world. The present study included 89 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). The traditional research methods were supplemented by microperimetry with the use of a MAIA apparatus. The study has demonstrated a significant ( p < 0,0001) 2 dB reduction of light sensitivity in the central retinal region compared with that in the age-matched healthy subjects in the absence of clinical signs of diabetic retinopathy (controls). The significant reduction of average photosensitivity in the central retinal region and K-index was documented in the case of progressive diabetic retinopathy ( p < 0,001). ROC analysis showed that K values in excess of 3 U and/or mean light sensitivity (≤ 25,8 dB) may be regarded as the threshold values for the chosen parameters of microperimetry; also, they can be used for the purpose of screening for diabetic retinopathy.
