[Primary open-angle glaucoma and diabetes].
Open-angle glaucoma is most frequent in diabetics. Its evolution seems to be most severe although an equilibrated tonometry under glaucoma treatment in literature.


OBJECTIVE
comparison of evolution of glaucoma between diabetics and non diabetics.


METHODS
A retrospective study of 72 glaucomatous patients diabetic and non diabetic was performed. A complete ophthalmologic examination with tonometry, funduscopy: sup disc measurement and automated perimetry was realised. Evolution was studied after chirurgical or medical treatment each four months with a mean follow up of 2 years.


RESULTS
We observed that the evolution of Open-angle glaucoma in diabetics is significatively not different from non diabetics.


CONCLUSIONS
Open-angle glaucoma evolution in diabetics is not more severe than general population.
