It is considered the leading cause of irreversible blindness (5.8%), according to the National Programme for Control of Blindness and Visual Impairment (NPCB and VI). Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is its commonest form. There is considerable evidence that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for POAG. The prevalence of POAG is much higher in the diabetic population than in the general population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>1.
