Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this work was to study the association of serum ionized calcium with retinal photoreceptor apoptosis on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: Sixty consecutive cases with Type 2 diabetes mellitus were categorized into three groups: no diabetic retinopathy; non-proliferative DR; proliferative DR. The eye with more severe form of the disease was considered. Twenty healthy controls were also included. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured on logMAR scale. Retinal photoreceptor apoptosis was defined as disruption of retinal photoreceptor ellipsoid zone (EZ). Ellipsoid zone disruption was assessed using SD-OCT. Serum levels of total and ionized calcium were measured using standard protocol. Results: EZ disruption was found to be positively associated with serum total calcium and ionized calcium. Also, EZ disruption was found to be positively associated with logMAR BCVA. Conclusion: Increased serum ionized calcium induces retinal photoreceptor apoptosis resulting in increased EZ disruption in DR.
