Refractive properties of the healthy human eye during acute hyperglycemia (2008) Nanouk G. M. Wiemer

Description

This study measures the refractive properties of the healthy human eye during acute hyperglycemia induced by an oral glucose tolerance test. Using Scheimpflug imaging and Hartmann-Shack aberrometry, the research analyzed changes in lens thickness, shape, refractive error, and aberrations. The findings generally show that hyperglycemia does not cause changes in refractive properties, though a hyperopic shift was observed in one subject, potentially explaining refractive changes often seen in diabetes mellitus.
