Macular thickness and systemic markers for diabetes in individuals with no or mild diabetic retinopathy

Background:  The relationship between diabetic risk factors and macular thickness in individuals without clinically detectable diabetic macular oedema has yet to be formally explored. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between macular thickness and diabetes control and duration.
