Introduction:Open angle Glaucoma is one of the causes of blindness in diabetic patients. Whether diabetes is a risk factor for angle closure glaucoma also is less thoroughly studied. Objectives: To assess the angle of anterior chamber in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Method: 125 patients (250 eyes) who met the inclusion criteria were taken up for the study. Patients of both sexes and more than 40 years of age with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who do not come under the exclusion criteria were included. Results: In subjects with duration of diabetes <5 years, Grade 4 angle was found in 47.41% of eyes which was comparatively more than the other grades. When the duration of Diabetes was 5-10 years, 40% of the eyes had Grade 4 angle and 37.27% had Grade 3 angle. In subjects with >10 years duration of diabetes, 33.33% had Grade 3 angle. Grade 2 and Grade 4 angles were of equal distribution with 29.16% and Grade 1 was found to be less. The association of Grade 1 and Grade 3 angle with severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy was found to be statistically significant. Whereas, in patients with mild diabetic retinopathy and in moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy Grade 4 angle is statistically significant. Conclusion: This study thus concludes the grade of angle of the anterior chamber decreases as the diabetic retinopathy advances.

To report case of bilaterally symmetrical choroidal coloboma within posterior staphyloma with MHRD. This is a case report of a 50year old female presented with diminished vision in both eyes. On examination, she had Bilateral High Myopia with recent onset MHRD associated with symmetrically bilateral Choroidal Coloboma within posterior staphyloma and was operated for MHRD in left eye. Presence of choroidal coloboma within posterior staphyloma is rare and with coexisting macular hole makes pathophysiology of RD challenging to understand.
