Comparing in circumstances. Methods: Patients with Type 2 DM included in the study were divided into three groups according to the condition of diabetic retinopathy (DR): non-retinopathy patients (non-DR group), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients (NPDR group) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients (PDR group). Measured by the optical low coherence reflex-biometry method, the values of central cornea thickness (MKK), cornea curvature (K1 and K2), cornea diameter (CK), acoustic depth (AD), lens thickness (LK) and axil length (AU) were compared between groups. Results: In total, 40 of the participants formed the non-DR group (22 women, 18 men), 29 NPDR (19 women, 10 men) and the remaining 21 PDR (13 women, 8 men). There is no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of age and gender (p>0. and 05). The average MKK value; in the non-DR group, NPDR and PDR groups were found to be thin at a statistically meaningful level (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). On the other hand, the average MKK value between the NPDR and PDR groups was found similar (p=0.211). Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference between the three groups in terms of the average K1 and K2, KC, AD, LK and AU (p>0.05). In patients with PDR and NPDR, the MKK was found significantly thick compared to patients with Type 2 DM without retinopathy. This condition indicates that in patients with Type 2 DM, the presence of retinopathin increases the thickness of the cornea.
