Objective: With the increasing use of digital devices among the pediatric population, asthenopia has become increasingly common. While refractive errors are the most prevalent cause, they can sometimes be linked to undiagnosed or underdiagnosed binocular vision disorders, such as accommodative insufficiency (AI). In many cases, simple refractive correction alone does not alleviate asthenopia.

Introduction: Diabetes today is a global health issue, posing a risk to several organ systems. Besides complications like cataracts, diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma and refractive errors, anatomical parameters like central corneal thickness (CCT), which is a crucial indicator of corneal endothelium function and keratometry parameters, have also been noticed to be altered in diabetes. Variations in these parameters may affect the accuracy of applanation tonometry in measuring intraocular pressure.

Background: Diabetic ocular disease is a leading cause of blindness today. The most common microvascular complications of diabetes are diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy. Multiple risk factors like the duration of the disease, age of the patient, high blood pressure, pregnancy, blood glucose control, and nephropathy have been studied to be associated with the development and progression of diabetic microangiopathy.
