[Acute myopia with increased intraocular pressure due to a decompensated juvenile diabetes mellitus (author's transl)].
We report on a 33-year-old woman, whose diabetes mellitus was kept under control with depot insulin and diet for 18 years. One evening she notices blurred vision in both eyes which markedly increased during the following days. We found flat anterior chambers, an increased ocular pressure up to 34 mm Hg, and a myopia up to-3,5 D. on both sides. Bloodsugar tests revealed varying results. After the diabetic metabolic state was normalized, the myopia and the raised intraocular pressure ceased to exist.
