Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Ophthalmology Summary: The cornea exhibits viscoelastic properties, which give it the quality of hysteresis. Corneal hysteresis is an important indicator of the biomechanical properties of the cornea. The aim of our study was to show the impact of diabetes on corneal biomechanics. We used the Ocular Response Analyzer device which measures CH, CRF, IOPcc and IOPg to detect the changes that occurred in corneal parameters of the patients with type 2 diabetes since hyperglycemia in diabetic patients alters the corneal structure by impairing the hydration of the cornea and homeostasis in the corneal epithelium, stroma and endothelium. We conducted our study on control and diabetic patients to detect the relation between diabetes mellitus and the corneal biomechanics. Our study was performed on 80 eyes of 44 patients as we divided these patients into two groups. Group A involved 40 eyes from 20 healthy control subjects and group B involved 40 eyes from 22 diabetic patients
