Central Corneal Thickness Increase Due to Stromal Thickening With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Severity

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that CCT increases with DPN severity because of an increase in stromal thickness. CCT increase associated with DPN has important clinical implications including glaucoma progression, keratoconus susceptibility, and intraocular pressure assessment and should be accounted for when evaluating patients with diabetes.
