Ocular surface assessment in maturity-onset diabetes of the young

DiscussionOur work is the first one which specifically evaluates ocular surface in MODY patients. Contrary to the common concept that “dry eye is frequently seen in type 1 and type 2 DM,” we did not come across any significant difference between MODY and control group in ocular surface tests. It might be linked to the fact that not enough time had passed for DR or DES symptoms to be detected. Our patients’ average diabetes d iagnosis length might be a short time span for clinical symptoms like DR and DES to show up.
