title: Estimation of tear glucose level and its role as a prompt indicator of blood sugar level.
abstract: Tear glucose level was measured by glucose oxidase method to determine the relationship between tear glucose and corresponding blood glucose levels in 200 patients. It was observed that this test had a definite value in finding the hyperglycaemics semiquantitatively.
