Purpose: To Evaluate the relationship between body mass index and intraocularpressure in Diabetic and Hypertensive adults presenting to the Out Patientdepartment of Dow International Medical College.Study Design: Descriptive Cross – sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: Department of Ophthalmology, Dow UniversityHospital (Ojha Campus) of Dow International Medical College, Dow University ofHealth Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan from 15 March 2015 to 15 April 2015.Material and Methods: This study done in the Department of Ophthalmology,Dow University Hospital (Ojha campus) of Dow International Medical College,Dow University of health sciences, Karachi, Pakistan from 15 March 2015 to 15April 2015. 101 patients were Included in the study group who were knownDiabetics with or without Hypertension. Height, weight, blood pressure andintraocular pressure (IOP) were recorded in these patients. IOP was measuredusing the Goldmann applanation tonometer. The correlation between Body MassIndex (BMI) and IOP was calculated and the statistical analysis was done bySPSS version 21.Results: 101 patients were examined, 45 were males and 56 were females.Mean BMI was 29.86 ± 5.87 in patients having diabetes with hypertension and27.49 ± 4.99 in only diabetic patients. The mean IOP was found to be 16.34 ±0.34 in diabetic and hypertensive patients and 15.98 ± 0.43 in diabetic patients.BMI was significantly correlated with IOP in both diabetic with or withouthypertensive adults.Conclusion: These results show a correlation between BMI and IOP in bothdiabetic patients with or without hypertension. Increase in BMI is stronglyassociated with increase in IOP.Key words: Body Mass Index, Diabetes, Hypertension, Intraocular Pressure,Glaucoma.
