Purpose: To detect early diabetic damage in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with no diabetic retinopathy ( NDR) using optical coherence tomography ( OCT) and to evaluate OCT as a clinical test. Methods: Thirty-two patients with NDR ( n = 32) were enrolled. We examined retinal and retinal nerve fiber layer ( RNFL) thickness using OCT. Two healthy normal populations were also enrolled for the retinal thickness ( n = 48) and RNFL thickness ( n = 34). Both OCT measurements were obtained in four areas ( temporal, superior, nasal and inferior). The receiver operator characteristic ( ROC) curve was generated to evaluate the predictor variables. Results: Comparing the normal and NDR eyes, retinal thickness significantly increased ( p = 0.03) and RNFL thickness significantly decreased ( p = 0.02) in the superior areas. The area under the ROC curve was 0.65 for the superior retinal thickness and 0.63 for the superior RNFL thickness. Conclusions: Both OCT measurements can detect early retinal damage in NDR patients.
