%X <strong>Background:</strong> To compare central corneal thickness (CCT) values measured in diabetic eyes and compare the CCT values in normal patients without diabetes. <strong>Methods:</strong> A total of 83 diabetic patients and 83 non-diabetic patients were prospectively enrolled in this comparative case series. CCT was measured using a Topcon CT-1P non-contact automated pachymeter, and values were compared. <strong>Results:</strong> Mean age was 57 ¡À 11 years, with a range of 23 and 80 years. The mean CCT was 508.87 ¡À 35.83 ¦Ìm for diabetic patients and 513.41 ¡À 37.22 ¦Ìm for non-diabetic patients. There was no statistically significant difference between the CCT of diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients (p = 0.260). We did not find a significant correlation between the CCT of diabetic patients and clinical characteristics of diabetes. However, there was a positive and statistically significant linear correlation between the CCT of diabetic patients and intra ocular pressure (IOP). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The mean CCT in diabetic patients was lower than in non-diabetic control patients, although there was no statistically significant difference.
