The decreases of cornea! sensitivity of the right and the left eye did not showed any d (F> 0,05), however compared with control significant difference was noted (P < 0,001).
The decrease of cornea! sensitivity, and the duration of diabetic was significantly core!ation fr – 0,54 and P < 0,00/). Conclusion : Cornea! sensitivity of patients with diabetes mellitus is lower than normal, but there is no d(Jference of decrease between right and left eye. The duration of diabetes mel/it us was lightly related with the decrease of cornea! sensitivity.
