Lens Power, Axial Length-to-Corneal Radius Ratio, and Association with Diabetic Retinopathy in the Adult Population with Type 2 Diabetes

In persons with T2DM, lens power, AL/CR ratio, and AL were associated with the presence of any DR and moderate DR. These findings suggested that globe elongation plays a major role in protective effects against DR, with contributions from lens power and other refractive components.
